Me, yself, and I are easily amused. More often then not I find myself drawn to small, yet ironic and humorous facts or happenings that have little to no importance to anyone other then me. Earlier today, during my World Civilizations class, while reviewing the military strength of the ancient Assyrian Empire, I wondered about grappling hooks and how they may have played a roll, however, my World Civ teacher didn't think they played a roll, despite the fact that Assyrian military was so advanced that they dug trenches, climbed over walls with ladders, and burst through doors with battering rams. I then became curious about the history of grappling hooks, and when I googled it (I love the fact that google is a verb) about five sites down, wookipedia, the Starwars Wikipedia, appeared, with facts about the Jedi grappling hook likentool, and an ewok princess who was known for her superb skill with a grappling hook. The fact that Starwars has made such an impact on history and society, that the make-believe history of the Starwars universe would appear for a serious search for a historical weapon. Some could say that this is a downfall of society, but I, being me, found it amusing, and it made my day. As sad as that sounds.
So that's what made my day today, and I hope you stumble across something, be it of great importance or small significance, that makes your day. Have a good one!!!
