With that in mind, this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog takes a lighthearted look at history with a collection of history themed memes and jokes.
1) Here's an ancient photo that proves that the ancient Greeks were terrible at loading the dishwasher.

Observer: "Perhaps try standing a bit closer, Discobulus"
Discoblus: "But where would be the fun in that?"
2) Apparently, the former communist Soviet Union made the best bread in history.
People would wait days in line for a single piece!
3) The following diagram illustrates the history of the game of rock, paper, scissors.

It might be fun to play a game of 'rock, paper' with someone, and see how long it is before they catch on.
4) The invention of the spoon was a significant moment in human history.
It caused quite a stir.
5) I don't like to boast, but I can read ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics.
This says, "We sell ice cream, and have free wifi."

Editor's note: "Charles, I don't think that's right. Wifi wasn't invented until long after ancient Egyptian society."
Charles: "It must be true! I read it on the internet!"
6) Without doubt, the most groundbreaking invention in history was the shovel.
7) On a rather silly note, it's nice to know that even back in the 1800s, people were still taking funny photos of their pets.

Note for concerned animal lovers: The dog wasn't really smoking a pipe. Presumaby, his owner just thought it would be a funny prank to place a pipe behind his head to fool gullible observers.
On a related note, I used to have a dog with no legs called 'Cigarette', and every morning I would take him out for a drag.
8) I applied for a job as a history teacher once.
I changed my mind though. I couldn't see any future in it.
9) To close on a serious note, whoever chose the name 'the Dark Ages' was clearly a bit of an idiot.
For starters, you only had to work for 14 weeks of the year! The rest of the time you were free to do as you pleased!

That means people today work over three times as long as people from the misleadingly named 'Dark Ages'!
10) Let's end things with a word from the editor...
Editor: "Charles, stop making history jokes! They're getting old."
Charles: "Badum, tsch!"
