Stupid History: 2012 Day-to-Day Calendar

Surprising, strange, and often amusing, the stories on the daily pages of the Stupid History 2012 Day-to-Day Calendar give new meaning to the words "stupid history." Culled from Leland Gregory's books, Stupid History, Stupid American History, and his newest release "S" is for Stupid: An Encyclopedia of Stupidity, the excerpts will shock history buffs who will be amazed to learn that the ancient Japanese held farting contests and awarded prizes for loudness and duration, that Al Capone's older brother was a police officer in Nebraska, and that the Harrison County School Board in Mississippi banned a Jewish student from wearing a Star of David in 1999 because it might be mistaken for a gang symbol. Stupid or not, it's history.
