Half-Baked History is a 20,000-word collection of 37 historical events, spanning both time period and geographical location. Boring? No. Half-Baked History is a satire of some of history's most notable and notorious events. Posing as the esteemed Professor Chip Bagnall, the supposed scholar takes historical facts and bluntly labels them as myth. Dr. Bagnall has one sole motive: to rectify the purported "facts" that have cursed the pages of our children's history textbooks. Reeducate yourself so the next time you try to impress your boss, a love interest, or even Professor Bagnall with a fun fact from the history annals, you don't seem like an idiot. There is something Professor Bagnall refers to as the "Colbert Complex." Most people who watch The Colbert Report do recognize the fact that the show is satire, but there are those few who don't quite catch on, believing Stephen Colbert's character to be the actual Stephen Colbert. The same can be said for Half-Baked History. Some of the facts, both in the "myth" and "fact" sections, are true - but most is bulls**t. It is satire. This disclaimer is for those very few who might not quite understand, so please, no offense to the majority. History doesn't have to be boring anymore. Did John Adams do stand-up comedy every Saturday at open mic night? Yes, but he often bombed when throwing out the overused "How many Anti-Federalists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?" joke. Learn more of the ridiculous from our shared written history by reading Half-Baked History.
