Thanks, I will. <3

No time for that, so you go with it!

Does it? Wow! Nice one! I'd better make sure that the information is right then!

The day that I was writing, we had three of us hunting through our friends lists for any Italians or Italian speakers. One of my friends did have someone who confirmed the subtitles at least, so I ran with it.

Time to update! Thanks again for all of your hard work. <3 Are you sure that you don't want to write that follow up article? I feel mean stealing it!

No, not at all feel free to use it ;-) BTW congratulations, when you put Berlusconi + banned book or + thirteen into Google your article shows up on the first page of Google ;-)

Date - LOL Now that is a genius sleight of hand! We're always misreading such formating across the Atlantic.

Yes! I so called it! It's an extremely clever marketing ploy though, particularly since it's just one in a series of really well constructed mini features. I did think it suspicious though, because I know that my lot would have been up in arms at any book being banned.

Thank you so much for the research. Do you mind if I up-date the main article with this information?

And just noticed the video title states "In October 2010 ..." but the date embedded in the video is 10/03/2010 meaning 3rd March, easy mistake to make if you don't know about different time formats used in different countries ;-)

I have had a CO detector and I'd like to hear more about what to do when the one you own goes off? I have a chimney ( wood burning stove) and have an oil furnace.

This looks like something I'd also enjoying playing with.

Okay I have like reddish- brown eyes what does that mean so does my friend a lot of people do where I live

Thank you! I think it's always interesting to find that these stories are so old and and yet were the same, but different.

Thank you very much!

It will always be here for reference on world historical timelines. <3 Stick in a bookmarks folder near you. LOL

Awwww! I love your story, but your historian friend was being too pedantic. Medieval and Middle Ages are just the Latin and English names for the same thing. The English is a translation of the Latin.

Thanks for sharing this story - I like this version!

Wow, I didn't come close to finishing this on my first bus ride like I thought I would. Congrats on the editors choice, because this is so worthy!

I know this pertains a lot to writing on wizzley but I still learned a lot! I've always been bad with dates though so I don't know how long a lot of this will stick with me xD

I have a cute story for you. In college, every student regardless of their major took four history classes. The first three were all the same for everyone, and the fourth kind of depended on major... Ie science geeks like me took history and philosophy of science, and math geeks would take like idk history of math. Anyways the other three were: ancient civilizations, medieval, early modern civilizations, and modern civilizations. No one called these classes by their names, but by short names, and most called medieval, early modern mid-mod. It technically should have been med-mod but most had no idea the name of the class they were even taking. LOL

Naturally, this annoyed the crap out of all the history people, and one day my friend stopped someone and was like, 'it isn't mid-mod! What do you think that's even supposed to mean?!?' And she replies, 'middle...modern?' And someone else added 'oh! I thought the middle was because we took the class in the middle of the other two and mod I thought was the historical period. It's a fashion thing at least.' And then he looks at me, and asks if I have anything else to add to the peanut gallery and I said I thought it was mid-mod as in Middle Ages and early modern. He said I scraped by, but that I should know that I technically had the name wrong.

Fine, picky!

:D
