Historians admit to inventing ancient Greeks (http://www.theonion.com/articles/historians-admit-to-inventing-ancient-greeks,18209/)

Egregious :nope:

Seeing as how the end result included Gerard Butler in a loincloth, I'm prepared to forgive and forget.

I knew it, the whole thing was wildly improbable and unrealistic... :nope:

[Takeda Shingen]

Saw that this morning. Excellent! :haha:

Moreover, we have some rather disappointing things to tell you about the pyramids, the works of Leonardo da Vinci, penicillin, the Internet, the scientific method, movies, and dogs.:doh:

[TLAM Strike]

Ancient Greece was made up by the Americans... :hmmm:

...This is already taught as fact in Saudi Arabia... ;)

I probably shouldn't admit this, but i started reading the article, thinking:

"WTF, this is too fanstistic! Homer, the Illiad, et all, made up? This is too incredible to believe. What news source is this anyway?!

*looked at the URL*

"oh......."

FRAU! I'm ashamed of you! Using Wiki as a source. Don't you know they never get anything right?

You should have used The Onion itself - much more reliable. :O:




Oh, and they just released this photo of the professor who actually wrote the Illiad and the Odyssee for them.

Anything that comes from the onion is proven, factual and true



That's why you wouldn't believe them :DL

Some of the articles in Onion are more believable than tha actual news you hear, especially the ones about the top goverment oficials and new laws getting passed
