(I made these last year, and posted these to my personal journal and to [community profile] icons. We're trying to consolidate our icon stuff here, so here are my own "mangled history" icons.)



Here are some "mangled history" icons, based on real assignments written by undergraduate students in history classes. Some of the quotations are from "World History According to Undergrads," and the rest are from the book Non Campus Mentis. The Non Campus Mentis quotations were collected from here. Most of the quotations are safe for work, although there is a mention of testicles on one of them. :P

Comment, credit, and don't hotlink.

Snagging the Geisha one and the cymbals one from the other set. Great icons. It was difficult to choose.

Going to snag 10 and 11. I love all of them, but these take the cake.
