Hmph!
Earlier today, the receptionist at the pediatrician's office had the nerve to tell me that the Middle Ages are NO LONGER RELEVANT!
Why the fourteenth century came up during check-in is another story.
How could someone say something so horrible and UNTRUE?!
She must figure it's irrelevant since the Climategate people wanted to completely forget about and erase the information pertaining to the Middle Age warmth period.
If you don't know history, you don't know anything (Says the girl with a BA in history.) I want to punch that woman in the face. Or better yet, smack her with her UGLY boot.
i am also interested in how the subject of the Middle Ages came up. i assume it has to do with illnesses compared to those days and now, or something, right? i love my Ugg boots. gotta get another pair. i purchased my 2nd pair back in 2004 and they are ready to be retired. take care.
I would argue that Beowulf is the precursor to every action hero that exists in the western world. That paper/book will eventually be published somewhere by someone. . . eventually.
I'm confused. How can history not be relevant?
ReplyDeleteHahahahahahahahahaha ....
ReplyDeleteThat's all I have to say about that :)
How in the heck did that ever get brought up?????
ReplyDeleteBut I think you are right on the shoes thing.

Hehehe...how did it come up in the first place? Were you asking for the leach treatment?
ReplyDeleteMakes one wonder if some of our contemporaries are relevant?

love how history repeats itself over and over again, especially for those who have not studied history.
ReplyDeleteLove it!!! That woman has never read Chaucer!
ReplyDeleteI love the comparison! Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!
ReplyDeletehappy sigh!
I have no idea how the Middle Ages would come up!! Last time I went to the pediatrics office, my son threw a fit and would not get on the scale.
ReplyDeleteSo they made me get on.
And then they weighed me.
And then they weighed me holding him.
Horrifying, isn't it?
