Given his posts on the mailing list, I considered calling this "Ed's Corner", but decided it might confuse the newbies...

Allright I'll start things out here with this awsome video I found on college humor. A food fight that goes through 40 years of history.

Did you get the storyline? It is about the wars in modern history. I think it begin with ww2 ...

All conutries are represented by the food they are assosiated with.
England = Fish'n'Chips...

I caught it just as it got to 9/11; of course, with that perspective, the reason for the abuse that the matzo was put through became clear...

This video is a good test to see how much people actually know about modern history, and international cultures in general. I'm debating on wether or not to show this to my history teacher.

By the way anyone else notice how hardcore those McNuggets were in this, I'll never look at them the same again.

Okay, I'm not watching it again. (Damn thing makes me hungry.)

Who got represented by Chicken McNugget's? The French? Or is that too stereotypical? I thought the Shishkebabs were to represent middle-eastern peoples.

Blah. Post chapter headache. Brain sleepy. :?

Not always. They also represented New Yorkers during the 9/11 sequence.
