Re: The Simpsons
Do you usually post these because you've just watched the episode, or do you just have a flash of memory on a line and get inspired to post?

Little from Column A, little from Row 13. This one was a memory flash after I read something that mentioned the phrase "famous historian." And I laughed at the notion of a famous historian.

Re: The Simpsons
I had a student yesterday email me to ask whether they could use as a source an article they found on history.com. I explained that, ironically, history.com is an awful source for history.* I'm a lot more forgiving of offbeat sources than colleagues, but even I have my limits.revbob wrote: ↑21 Mar 2018, 9:09pmIve seen this guy on the History Channel.Kory wrote: ↑21 Mar 2018, 7:15pmBut he's on TV!
