A Return to Cannibalism

So here's the deal: I haven't been on here in forever, and I'm completely unsure if anyone is still reading or cares about this blog or anything I have to say for that matter, but today at FSU I encountered an ingenious outburst, and I couldn't help but think about its wall worthy potential.

I'm sitting in my world history class, which is, by the way, the most sinfully boring history class I have taken thus far, as it was clearly designed to be passed by a toddler, but that's another story in itself and not at all related to the tale I'm about to tell...anyway (sorry for that digression) I'm sitting there listening to my professor talk about the French's attempts at slavery in the West Indies in the mid-seventeenth century (I know, you're riveted...just wait, it gets better) and he starts talking about reasons why their attempts in Jamaica initially failed.  He asks the class, "Why were the French unable to take the native population and enslave them?"  The obvious answer to this is that the natives outnumbered them and clearly knew their own land better the French.  This idea did not occur to the entire class though, and some kid in the back of the class really thinks that his answer is correct, so he yells out:

"They were cannibals."

Now, I know what your first thought about this kid is...Nick Holmes.  In fact, it was not Nick, but that was my first thought, as well.  The native Jamaicans weren't cannibals, not in the least, but that answer was so hilarious that all I could think was, "Yeah, cannibalism is funny!"  That thought, of course, led me to remember this blog and prompted me to make this post.  To anyone who might read this, I hope you don't think ill of my sadly mistaken classmate, but take his strange outburst in the same way that I did: as a reminder of the humor of cannibalism, and even more so, of the great memories that we made hearing and laughing at the quotes that are contained on this blog.

I hope, if anyone sees this, that this post reaches you well, and that we are all enjoying our post-NFC lives.  I know certainly am!  So for now, farewell to you, my wall worthy friends.  May all your walls be filled with worthy quotes!

Much love,
Michelle
