In history class, Mr. Majask had a PowerPoint presentation on the board about the reoccupation of the Rhineland, the territory that Germany was forced to demilitarize after WWI but managed to remilitarize before WWII. One of the bullet points read, "March 36 German troops reentered Rhineland." Upon reading this line, Mr. Majask was assaulted with questions about what it meant. Of course, he had meant it to mean "In March of 1936, German troops reentered Rhineland."

One student thought that they marched 36 troops into the Rhineland. Mr. Majask did an impersonation of what this might have looked like: "36 guys marched into the Rhineland saying 'We claim this for Germany!' No one did anything, so they marched another mile: 'Germany!'"

Another student thought it meant that all this had happened on March 36th. I'll just leave it at that.

Arrr, an' I mustn't be foregttin' t'wish ye a v'ry happy International Talk Like A Pirate Day!
