Funny European History Quotes from an AP European History teacher! Jim Hannon is one of the most unique European History teachers you could imagine; unafraid to blurt out the craziest of ideas on European History! History is made surprisingly enjoyable with the excerpts of Hannon to lighten the mood!

European History Quote #1
(Discussing child labor in the mines of early England)
"If your day ends with 'Who's missing?' you're in England."

European History Quote #2
(Discussing early French occupations)
"...just a Rent-A-Boob..."

European History Quote #3
(After Poland lost another war)
"Let's revoke Poland's license to own a country and give it to Russia. They've had so many D.U.I.'s it's time to revoke their license."

European History Quote #4
(Answering a student when they stated 'I hear the French actually built a couple of robots recently.)
"Do the French robots have little white flags in their back pockets?"

European History Quote #5
(Martin Luther's attitude toward women)
"Get pregnant and make me a sandwich."

Enjoy!!!

Don't Touch My Phone

Fun security alarm to keep friends and others from using your device!

Ever want to play a practical joke on a friend? Leave your phone laying somewhere for someone to pick up: they will happily play along pressing the kind button until shrieks erupt right in their face! (Hilarious to watch!) You will immediately know that someone is using your phone when you don't want them to!

Freak out your friends with a 'friendly' little app displaying an enticing button to click! When they click it, an alarm will ring through the entire room letting you know somebody has tried to use your phone!

Father's Day 2012

Wed, 20 Jun 2012 19:23:30 +0000

Happy Father’s Day 2012!

Want a clever way to show your father just how important he is to you? Instead of a cliché greeting card, get him an APP for Father’s Day 2012: his one special day of the year (and do it for less money than a card)!

This will surely make your father very happy and interest him with something unique that no one else would think of getting him!

The Father’s Day 2012 app will display several messages showing how much you care for him, how much you love him, and how much he means to you. After the messages are shown, “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong will play.

This is an excellent gift for any father and will be sure to get his attention when you exclaim “I got you an APP for Father’s Day 2012!”
