A friend of mine sent me these. They are quotes from a book his daughter found, "Non Campus Mentis" compiled by Professor Anders Henriksson:

"Calvin was born a generation after Luther and is seen as one of Luther's greatest predecessors. He accepted all Luther's ideas except that of birth."

"John Calvin Klein translated the Bible into American so that the people of Geneva could read it."

"Calvinists were the only ones who believed int pre-detonation. It is not surprising that their preaching consisted mainly of dogmatic explosions."


gotta love those dogmatic explosions!

I used to like John Calvin Klein's fashion line when I was a young thing. That's a great way to reach the youth of this country, eh? Slinky models selling jeans with TULIPs stitched on the pockets?

The whole title of the book is Non Campus Mentis: World History According to College Students.
And this is from Amazons Review of the book:
Be prepared to weep as you read Non Campus Mentis: World History According to College Students, a horrifically hilarious compendium of actual North American college student essays. Learn about the victims of the Black Death (who "grew boobs on their necks"), the Automaton Empire, Martin Luther King's famous "If I Had a Hammer" speech, the Iran Hostess Crisis, Zorroastrologism (the "duelist" religion "founded by Zorro"), and Joan of Ark, Noah's wife, at rest on Mt. Arafat. Meet Dim El Sum of Korea, the Vestigal Virgins, "dedicated to burning the internal flame," and Hitler, who "shot himself in the bonker." Did you know a position as "lady-in-mating helped a young girl's chances for a marriage," and "the assignation of Archduke Ferdman gave sweet relief to mounting tensions," or that "the major cause of the Civil War is when slavery spread its ugly testicles across the West"?
++++++++++++++++
Looks like a fun read to me.
