I don’t usually read blog carnivals much, and it’s probably a good thing. Scott’s cryptic version of the History Carnival led me to spend a really ridiculous amount of time reading blog posts about cavalry tactics in the English Civil War (that’s the first of several). And, really, I have no need to know this…
Still, it was a much more interesting read than what I was supposed to be doing. I also liked the ancient Egypt in ten minutes link, and…
Dammit, I have my own job to do. Stop posting things that are more interesting than the application folders I have to read!
So do you vote for “Ancient Mesopotamia in Ten Paragraphs” or “Ancient Rome in Ten Paragraphs” next?
Cryptic = silly?
(As I noted in the comments, I’d written what I thought was a much funnier version but decided not to publish it for fear of giving offense. Maybe someday I’ll release an “Unrated” version of it.)
hey thanks for the links the one about cavalry tatics was intersting. The debunking of the hollywood cavalry charge is a facinating read.
