3. I'll bet that Glenn Beck never mentions that Baron von Steuben was gay ...

in one of his history lessons.

[Botany]

6. as a former history buff who was offered a partial history scholarship ....

... years ago Beck's history lessons (the few i have seen) always floored me. Because
after a minute or so he always just makes stuff up or the persons writing his lines
were just going along w/ some sort of right wing story line.

4. But, what have you done for me lately?

Kidding, of course. Without the 'mos, the military would fall apart.

5. so von Steuben drilled Washington's army?

Hahahahaha. I'm immature.

And Turing! Nah, I got nothing. I love Alan Turing.
