history

While some of you may have flunked history a couple times, there's no getting around it: the happenings of the past make for some seriously good memes. And this gallery of memes hilariously covers many historical moments. You've got a few memes roasting Henry VIII's marriages and desire from and heir, as well as plenty of memes covering imperialism and war. They may not be entirely educational, but they're better for your brain than some of those deep fried ironic memes. Happy scrolling.

Tumblr did a good thing with this fun and wild little story about a Professor who dodged ultimate danger, with some skimpy clothing and kindness. Seriously, whether this story is real or not, it is amazing. Just picturing a bunch of laughing, smiling dudes out on an adventure, dancing and entertaining for their kicks at night, taking none of it seriously, is enough to warm the heart. Glad to hear that they managed to avoid a perilous predicament. 

Take in some more fun from Tumblr with this post about how dwarves have intelligent super beards.

The Roman empire was cut in half with a pair of...Caesars.

Hehehe.

If you didn't pay much attention during history or hate reading dumb books, these memes might help you seem smarter. They won't help you write an award-winning essay, but they might help you in random conversation or when you're trying to impress someone who is only moderately intelligent. So who said memes have no educational value?

History teachers, take note!

Disney and history lovers will appreciate these stunning illustrations from Deviantartist Wickfield. Artist Nina S. has painstakingly drawn everyone's favorite Disney characters wearing garb that is historically correct. It's interesting how close Disney has come to accuracy in some cases (Merida, Mulan) and how completely off they were in others. 

We think history can be really fascinating, but we also understand that learning it out of a textbook is boring as heck. If you're a high school history teacher reading this, then you should definitely start utilizing memes in your everyday lessons if you want students to retain the information better. Who else agrees?

You *know* these witty comebacks and zingers would be ALL over Twitter if it had been around.

Hmm, this is still making us wonder...

Here are some more shocking facts that will make your friends think you're intelligent until they also read this.

We're pretty into weird facts and history memes, but these dark and unsettling facts take that interest to a slightly morbid zone. But if you're anything like us, you'll appreciate these bizarre and creepy tidbits.

A lot of classical art pieces are pretty bizarre, which is why we make so many memes out of them. This particular painting, entitled "The Village Politicians," was completed by John L. Krimmel in 1819 and features an angry man with an oddly painted face pointing at his hand.
