The History Channel

History teachers will find this interesting (albeit a little fftopic: )

There is a fascinating trend among Japanese teen and twenty-something women: increasing numbers of them are obsessed with history. Particularly the Sengoku Jidai period; they are referred to as History Girls - they generally have the hots for long-dead Daimyo and Samurai warriors. Apparently the young men of Japan are so disinterested in the opposite sex that the girls are gravitating toward their b@lls-to-the-wall, die-fighting-and-be-glad-to-do-it ancestors.

Fascinating, if a bit weird. Well, on second thought, not weird. Young women want their men to be MEN.

I for one hope the young men of Japan do NOT follow this example! This mindset created enough mischief last century for Japan to be 'paid ahead' for quite some time.

The series on Hitlers Bodyguard was fascinating with awesome archival footage. They attempted to assassinate the guy something like 33 times in his career...all unsuccessful. Apparently his habit of changing plans abruptly helped. The rest was (diabolical) luck. The program on the Zonderzug super train was especially interesting as I had never heard of it.

Some things are the same everywhere! If they all said this at the same time, the roar would be deafening!

They don't have to get all militaristic, but they could try taking off the aprons.
