Non Campus Mentis: World History According to College Students

Non Campus Mentis: World History According to College Students (ISBN 978-0761122746) is a short book published in 2001 by history professor Anders Henriksson, showing mistakes that students have made on tests and assignments, often with laughable results. Frequently, the students mix one historical event with another, or incorporate elements of popular culture, replete with misspelled words and malapropisms. Examples include:

• "Prehistoricle people spent all day banging rocks together so they could find food. This was the Stoned Age."
• "Civilization woozed out of the Nile about 300,000 years ago. The Nile was a river that had some water in it. Every year it would flood and irritate the land."
• "Magellan circumcised the globe."
• "John Calvin Klein translated the Bible into American so that the people of Geneva could read it."
• "Cat berets were a favorite form of German entertainment at this time."
• "History grundled onward. International relations moved to the broodle stage."
