I was wondering if you could start a sub forum in academics on history. Then I would post there every day with my historical topic of the day and the most hilarious historical mistakes. My favourite being: Magellan circumcised the globe with a 40 foot clipper. The unfortunate student obviuosly intended to say Magellan circumnavigated the globe with a 40 foot clipper, although I think saying the boat was a clipper would be an inaccuracy as clippers only became common when the tea trade first started.
You do realize that instead of making this topic, you could have just started the actual topic that you just explained?
I don't see the need for a whole sub-forum for this; I'd say starting a topic on the Entertainment board would probably suffice.
Rightio.
