Well, there's a LOT of history out there.

Seriously, I had to explain to my wife a joke involving comparing the Stonewall Riots and Stonewall Jackson. She confused Stonewall Jackson with Andrew Jackson. And this is a woman who is highly intelligent, and knows her history fairly well (though she concentrates more on mythology and the culture of pre-industrial Europe)

What was that saying Gharlane of Eddore had? "It's not your fault you believe that, you're a victim of the American educational system"?
