Personally, I think it's a great social experience. Once you move past the "I'm going to speak imperfectly until I learn," thing, you basically get to babel like a baby as an adult. People seem to love it, too. Everytime I tell someone I'm learning a language and they speak that language, they're always excited to help me practice.

I think it helps with your primary language too. A lot of languages are related, so learning about the structure of one can help you recognize patterns in another. Since you learn about new grammar rules in your native language first, it's especially useful if it's been a while since you've taken an English class.

Idk why people get obsessed with Rome, Egypt lasted way longer. I guess they didn't do as much fascist shit tho.

If you're more of a textual person, one of the main sources for that episode is King Leopold's Ghost: A Story of Greed, Terror and Heroism in Colonial Africa.

"While it may be true that we told a lie before we had evidence, we really wanted that first lie to be true, so it's cool, right?

Death may be a preferable alternative to being found in rubble by a swarm of cyborg cockroaches.

A part of Hitler's rise to power was the night of long knives, where he had Nazi party members jockeying for his spot assassinated by the brownshirts.

Seeing as how everything is dumber in America, I suppose this is their version.

Did they forget he's a fucking Nazi?

Or are they just also Nazi's?
