Non Campus Mentis

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."
