<andy> history is always written by the victors
<andy> that's why "history" sounds so much like "victory"
<ElectricElf> andy: Actually, that's kind of funny :)
<andy> :)
<ElectricElf> andy: 'cause if you were the loser, and you wanted to say nasty things about the victor, etch them in two-inch-deep characters on an obelisk buried ten feet underground.
<ElectricElf> andy: You can be pretty sure that historians a thousand years from now will take what you say very, very seriously ;)
<andy> well, you can't do that if you're dead
<ElectricElf> Great, now we'll get into pre-emptive revisionist history :)
<cdlu> no we didn't :)
