About Curzon
Lord George Nathaniel Curzon (1859 - 1925) entered the British House of Commons as a Conservative MP in 1886, where he served as undersecretary of India and Foreign Affairs. He was appointed Viceroy of India at the turn of the 20th century where he delineated the North West Frontier Province,
ordered a military expedition to Tibet, and unsuccessfully tried to partition the province of Bengal during his six-year tenure. Curzon served as Leader of the House of Lords in Prime Minister Lloyd George's War Cabinet and became Foreign Secretary in January 1919, where his most famous act was
the drawing of the Curzon Line between a new Polish state and Russia. His publications include
Russia in Central Asia (1889) and
Persia and the Persian Question (1892).
In real life, "Curzon" is a US citizen from the East Coast who has been a financial analyst, freelance translator, and university professor; he is currently on assignment in Tokyo.
That’s great. Where did you find that?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Once on a test we were given the dimensions and then asked to calculate the weight of air in an empty room. I put if the room was empty, there was no air in it, therefore the answer was zero. The teacher was annoyed, but gave me credit for the answer.
Brings back memories of high school. One day when we had a sub, we were forced to write four one-page essays as “practice for the state exam.” It was obviously just busy work.
So I wrote four one-page essays. On four Post-It Notes.
This is probably why I never got into Harvard.
Great stuff. I hope there is more out there like this.
the expand part is hilarious hahaha
I love the guy.
I wish I had the guts to do that when I was in school.
