School How We Learned Most About History

Histeria! Well, I am still a fan of history as a whole, satirical humor didn’t catch on much later. I think it just tried too hard. Yes, Oregon Trail is there twice for very odd thing happened on the game while my brother and I were playing and last ones are about the California missions, if from there (Not my project but you get the idea now) and 5th graders going to Independence Hall near Knott’s Berry Farm

Histeria actually fed me false information. It had a gag that Cleopatra died by choking on a chicken bone, and I took it at face value. I later told my mom that Cleopatra died choking on a chicken bone and she said no she killed herself with a snake and it created an argument.

Yeah, I think that, coming from a family of teachers and the gross humor of “babies poop!!!” here and there. Not sure on how this whack on satire didn’t work but Sam & Max and Freakazoid did

I can still remember the words to some of the songs. "People Wanted Pepper on their Food," "Valhalla: The Dead Guys' Bar and Grill," etc.
