Mangled History Icons

ImageImage Image

Here are some "mangled history" icons, based on real assignments written by undergraduate students in history classes. Some of the quotations are from "World History According to Undergrads," and the rest are from the book Non Campus Mentis. The Non Campus Mentis quotations were collected from here. Most of the quotations are safe for work, although there is a mention of testicles on one of them. :P

Comment, credit, and don't hotlink.
