When William The Conqueror landed on England's shore in 1066, ready to take over the throne, leading his army into battle, he tripped. Lol, that's just brilliant. EPIC FAIL.

Get That Camera Out Of My Face
I recently read a not so recent article in National Geographic about Bushmen. It was certainly an interesting read. The tribe spoke with primitive clicks and had learnt many survival skills, like to fill ostritch eggs with water and bury them, then take them out and drink them in a drought. it was amazing that such primitive people still survived. However as I read on, I found myself more intrigued by something else. One of the passgaes of text started "We set up camp next to the Bushman tribe" or something along those lines. As I read on the image formed in my head of an American man following a Bushman around the Savannah, taking photographs, making notes, going "Fascinating" and "Wow" under his breath. Wouldn't that be annoying? It would be like a British guy going to China and following the people round, taking pictures and making notes. It would just be annoying.
In Science we watched this video on Youtube of this guy-the "Tree Man". He had these warts all over him that became strange growths on his arms and legs, so he looked like he had growths. Obviously everyone's first reactions were "Yuck! That is so disgusting!" But through the entire video, no-one said "Ah, the poor guy." Why not?! His wife ditched him, his family never visit and he doesn't have many friends because the growths creep people out. Doesn't that make you feel sorry for him? Also, they were showing close-ups of his growths. Imagine this. Your sitting on the couch with this little reporter guy leaning on the floor, taking pictures of the growths on your feet. How ANNOYING would that be?!
They're different...but stop stuffing cameras in their faces!
