Heh. Yes, it does exist. It's about history, mostly, and covers the things that your teachers never told you, and what they got wrong, and the lies they flat-out told you. It's actualy a great book. History as Mystery is another similar one. I remember an early chapter about Christopher Columbus in _Lies_ was excellent and ... interesting. But yeah, it exists. It's amazing what they DON'T teach you in school these days. Even in college.... Chris "He is a lover of his country who rebukes and does not excuse its sins." - Frederick Douglass
