Are you saying that the Nazis existed until 1986, when the Soviets managed to get them all into the Ukraine and then blew them up using a nuclear power plant? Wow, the US education system is more exciting than I imagined.

Ah, but the question asked is: in history?

Most important moments ever, ever................... ever?

Think about a long time ago.

I figure the origins of life might be significant.

That would be technically pre-history.

jajdude, did you manage to skip all the history courses in university? i guess one could meet the humanities requirement by taking philosophy and music eh. Wink


I'm curious how many physics, math or engineering courses you took? Most degrees don't need history. While all degrees should have aspects of other disciplines for a good education (though I see the math courses that arts students take, and I barely call them math), there are many arts courses available (history, psychology, philosophy, etc.)


Ok man, admit it, you are smarter than most, proud of it and live in it.

(sober answer) This is about great things, not awful things that killed a lot of people.

-invention of the printing press (which probably coincided with the printing of the Bible but was a greater event)

No time to read through the entire thread, but, uh metal moveable type was invented in Korea long before Guttenberg and there is evidence he already knew of the technology existing in Asia when he invented the printing press. You live in Korea, you should know this... 1234 unless I'm remembering wrong.
