1. Germany never bombed Pearl Harbor.
The Japanese did. Who taught you history? The Bush Family?

27. Go watch Animal House again
The Delta House members had all been kicked out of school and referred to their draft boards and they were all pretty depressed about it.

Finally Bluto stood up and started screaming "What is this lying around shit? Nothing's over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?"

And was having a wild affair with Florence Nightengale who was married to Victor Lazlow at the time. He later wrote about his experiences in "The Snows of Katmandu" and "Farewell To Farms", which was co-authored by John Steinbeck.

36. Trick question.
Edited on Wed Sep-22-04 05:59 PM by kixot
It was actually the Russians and it was on August 8th, 1974. They were all overconfident after kicking Napoleon's ass at Waterlily where they all sat around and ate beef Wellington at the Nelson Inn in Trafalgar Square.

Well, you see, Harvey Eiffel had just finished signing the Louisiana Compromise where we offered to take all this land we won in the War of 1812 from the Cajuns as long as France could keep some statue of liberty on Riker's Island to taunt the prisoners. Lewis and Clark were sent off to England with Pocahontas and Crazy Horse to present King George III with the emancipation proclamation which was written as a clause into the Salamander Letter Chronicles of Narnia, a sub document of the Magna Carta, which was edited by Shakespeare in 1491.

That year, King Phillip of Macedonia ordered his wife Isabel to have Columbus take the tired, the poor, the huddled masses yearning to breathe free and put them on a boat to take the city of Tenochtitlan back from the Incas who had invaded after the Battle of Little Big Rain Man, which was later made into an Academy award winning movie with Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise. Well it turns out that the Vietcong had already taken Tenochtitlan and burned it along with the Library of Alexander Hamilton. They were beginning to push northward into the Mojave desert when they were encountered by Rommel's army in the Battle of Tora Borax. The fighting was so fierce that the armies kicked up so much dust that it filled the sky and blocked out the sun. It was at this point that the dinosaurs began to die out and we entered the age of mammals. This dust cloud became known as the Great Desert Storm and eventually settled into the Great Desert Shield and finally into the Dust Bowl, where division 1a championship games are now held.

While this was happening the Civil War had broken out as had the Donner party. President Roosevelt, already weakened by the Polio he contracted from the previous administration, decided that he was too sick to party and so he called the nation to their arms. Many women at that time were encouraged to bear their arms at that point and so that's why you have pictures of Rosie O'Donald the Rivetor flexing her biceps for the camera. Rumors surrounding Rosie O'Donald from that time were actually about Betty Page, mother of Jimmy.

Back to the matter at hand, India paid the Russians for the Zimmerman letter which was actually written by a Mexican named Emilio Sanchez who went at that time by the pseudonym, "Dirty". Many unconfirmed reasons are given for this nickname, most point to a time when Emilio lived as an art instructor in Vienna and he forced his students to grow small, toothbrush mustaches - which were, like absinthe and onions on the belt, in style at the time.

Wait, what were we talking about?
