Neurotron | 21 July 2004, 1:38pmA tale still recounted at reunions.
Social studies class. The teacher has just finished a long discourse on the French Revolution. She sounded very knowledgeable about the whole thing.
"...and thus, the French Revolution ended in fiasco."
She looked up, sighed, gave a half smile and looked at us expectantly.
"Madam, what is 'fiasco'?"
"Oh, it's a place in France.."
ROTFL.

One of my literature teachers was convinced that Jane Austen was a pseudonym used by a "James" Austen... I've heard of women taking men's names to get their writing published, but a man taking a woman's name? Victorian women must be more advanced than we thought!!
