Review:
Be prepared to weep as you read Non Campus Mentis: World History According to College Students, a horrifically hilarious compendium of actual North American college student essays. Learn about the victims of the Black Death (who "grew boobs on their necks"), the Automaton Empire, Martin Luther King's famous "If I Had a Hammer" speech, the Iran Hostess Crisis, Zorroastrologism (the "duelist" religion "founded by Zorro"), and Joan of Ark, Noah's wife, at rest on Mt. Arafat. Meet Dim El Sum of Korea, the Vestigal Virgins, "dedicated to burning the internal flame," and Hitler, who "shot himself in the bonker." Did you know a position as "lady-in-mating helped a young girl's chances for a marriage," and "the assignation of Archduke Ferdman gave sweet relief to mounting tensions," or that "the major cause of the Civil War is when slavery spread its ugly testicles across the West"?
Book Description:
Well, you'd better buckle down and learn, then! --Tim Appelo
The New York Times bestseller is now in an inexpensive paperback edition for Graduation Day mayhem--with a new map and chapter on the Middle East. Ranked #2 among USA Today's top humor books and #3 on The Washington Post bestseller list, "this little gem from the ivory tower" ( Publishers Weekly) has been praised as: "The créme de la créme of student vacantness" ( Associated Press). "Glorious, equal-opportunity idiocy for every era" ( Houston Chronicle). A harvest of the most creative bits of inane writing ( Chicago Tribune). You'll laugh until you cry-shedding tears for the state of American education ( Baltimore Sun). Who knew that history could be so funny and creatively spelled? ( Columbia Dispatch).
Culled from actual history term papers and exams of students at over 30 colleges--including those of the Ivy League--Non Campus Mentis weaves shocking and hilarious bloopers, gaffs, and malapropisms into a chronology with the wit and juxtapositions of a brilliant comic monologue. There are the births of the great religions: Judyism was the first monolithic religion. It had one big God named 'Yahoo.' The mother of Jesus was Mary, who was different from other women because of her 'Immaculate Contraption.' The Dark Ages, when it was mostly dark. The American civil rights movement, which turned around the corner with Martin Luther Junior's famous 'If I Had a Hammer' speech. And statements that will leave you just scratching your head: Machiavelli, who was often unemployed, wrote The Prince to get a job with Richard Nixon.
