Humans Are Weird: History, Legends, and Myths
Alien Zor'gen sits beside human Jenny, looking at her through squinted eyes. His fists pounds on the table. “Human Jenny, are you telling me that the Greeks won the war against ths Trojans because they made a large wooden horse, hid their men inside the horse, and when the Trojans pulled the horse into their city they attacked and WON?!”
“Well, yeah.”
Zor'gen had never heard anything so absurd in his lifetime. Then again, these humans were a weird species.

“Do you expect me to believe that there were ‘Witch Trials’ in a small town called Salem when there are no such things as witches at all?” Alien Sheirz asked liked he had been mocked by Human Carlos.
“Bold of you to assume there are no witches on Earth Sheirz, but yes, it truly did happen.”
“Nonsense! This is a joke you are playing. Do you expect me to believe humans took females in their villages and burned them?”
“If the female survived she was a witch, if she didn’t she was innocent.” Carlos replied calmly.
“WhAt?”

“So the people of Australia commenced a war against a bird called the ‘emu’, they wasted several amounts of ammunition that they could have used for much fiercer creatures and yet they decide to shoot birds? Why would they do such a thing?”
“Well, technically they didn’t hit a single emu during the war and the emus won. Also, don’t ever assume there is a fiercer creature than an emu.” Human Liam replied.
“They. Didn’t. Hit. A. Single. Bird?”
“Well, yeah.”
Annoyed grunting could be heard.

“Constantinople, was under seige by the Ottoman Empire and was only conquered by the Ottomans because someone–someone–forgot to lock the city’s gate?” Tru'gel asked. Human Irene had just explained what happened when the Ottoman Empire took over the Roman Empire’s capital city, Constantinople.
“When you put it that way, I suppose it sounds pretty dumb, but yes, that is probably exactly what happened.” Human Irene replied.
Alien Tru'gel couldn’t start to comprehend what she just said, Tru'gel spread the story immediately.
