Actually, this is bringing to mind a book I had to read for History last semester, called _After the Fact_ I can't at the moment remember who it was by, but I'm sure I could find out if someone was interested. It picked a few choice amusing little contradictions or hidden facts in history and explores that. Like how the victims of the Salem Witch Trials were more or less from the same area of the town, and how Jefferson wrote about no slavery but had slaves of his own...stuff like that. Good book, very tongue-in-cheek. ****** NyteMuse "Call her life unnatural, feel her undead breath. Color her black for sorcery, color her gray for death."
