I have enjoyed a number of subjects as a student, and history I guess is one of them. Nothing beats watching historical fiction movies in Dale Barker's class. I crack up when I remember Steve McQueen calling the Chinese slopeheads in The Sand Pebbles.
But I have taken only 4 history classes thoughout all of high school and college. History would definitely be my weakest link if I were to go on Jeopardy. That and opera. Because honestly, who gives a crap about that?
Cracked.com had a list of 25 significant historical events as depicted by 5 year-olds' drawings. Can you tell what each event is? Some drawings are easy, some are cryptic, and some are funny. So give it a shot. Score 1 point for each event you indentify. I'll put my answers in the comments section, so you can compare. Tell me what you got. You can click on the pictures to biggasize it. Good luck.
