Stumble it!

High school was hard enough, what with all the video games and boobies to distract us from our homework. What makes it even harder is having to unlearn all of the stuff they taught us in elementary school that turned out to be utter bullshit.

Your a moron.
Just because you have the attention span of a brain damaged goldfish doesnt mean that this article was full of shit. Everything in here is (to the best that can proven) true facts. And the "future greatest nation" bit is clearly intended to be tongue in cheek.

Actually the first fact is wrong Columbus neither though the earth was flat nor round he believed it to be pear shaped (documents from the time prove this).

^ Indeed. It was a fun article, and proves the general public's stupidity and ignorance.

Of course no one in the general public is on SW, so we're all smart and educated here....

Wasn't Christopher Columbus trying to find a route west to India, not prove the world was round?

not to be an ass but my schools taught me the 100% truth when it came to every last subjest in that list.

whats crazier than "the earth is round" thing is how galileo was forced to admit the earth was the center of the universe and faced prison and had his scientific pamphlets banned by the church despite the fact that the greeks had already proven the sun was the center of our system at least 2000 years prior.

even the pope and his cardnals knew the sun was the center of our solar system but they condemed galileo rather than back down from the wording of thier silly scriptures.
