Twist

My how time flies. Can it really have been a whole year since I posted the World’s Easiest Quiz? I guess it can. And I guess history does tend to repeat itself too, though sometimes with a bit of a twist.  Last night the Washington baseball team brought a World Championship back to the nation’s capitol for the first time since 1924.  And in case you missed it, the great Walter Johnson pitched 4 innings of scoreless relief after losing two games earlier in the series. The 1924 series, that is.  Anyway, congrats to the Nationals and their die-hard fans. They certainly waited long enough. And to the Astros and their fans? Take heart. Spring training starts in a mere 103 days.

So, to put a bit of a twist on the World’s Easiest Quiz, consider this question: How would The History of Western Civilization been different if, instead of posting 95 theses on the Wittenburg Cathedral door on All Hallows Eve of 1517, Luther had instead posted 95 memes? And come to think of it, what’s your favorite meme? I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.  C’mon, play along and this could be even more fun than the Protestant Reformation!
