If you're reading this, then chances are that you like Associated Content and all it has to offer. Recently, I managed to hack into the archives of AC in what was purely an effort based on the thirst for knowledge - knowledge of the history of Associated Content! Lo and behold, imagine my surprise when I discovered that AC had existed in a pre-natal form in the year 1776! Apparently, it was a very popular medium in the thirteen colonies of the USA, and was first started by Paul Revere as a means for information and opinions to travel quicker. Revere must have not liked Gutenberg or something...anyway, I managed to come away with some examples of articles that some of the familiar personalities of that time period used to publish. Enjoy!

----George Washington used to frequently publish informative articles, such as "How to Care For Wooden Dentures" and "How To Cook Blueberry Pancakes."

----Ben Franklin, under the pen name PoorRichard69, would consistently post nothing but reviews on sexy lingerie and gossip on the latest celebrity breakup. His greatest triumph was his write-up on the continuing scandalous love affair between Thomas Jefferson and his 18 booty-calls.

----John Burgoyne had a nasty habit of downvoting anything and everything George Washington published, posting such comments as "Why did AC even post your trash on the front page" and "LOL I'm in yur base, killing yur dudez OMG redcoat rush kekeke."

----King George III took a great liking to writing up on the latest trends in video games. He was quite the nerd! Here's an excerpt from one his articles, entitled "Dost Luigi Have Right To Rebel?"
"When I take it upon myself to engage in Superior Mario Brethren, it occurs to me: Is this Luigi truly any different from those Yankee dogs? No, he is not and for this, I smite thee, Sir Miyamoto---for having the audacity to suggest that such a minor annoyance deserves a spot amongst such true knights as Mario, Peach, and His Holiness the Big Boo."

Paul Revere actually yelled, "The payments are coming! The payments are coming!"

If you couldn't get to the Upper Palaeolithic era for AC on page 40,000...I've read the archives there and managed to see what people were writing about back then. Prior to that time period, a lot of articles were mostly about hunting, rocks, females...and hunting, rocks and females. Then one epiphany article: A tutorial on how to make paintings in the Altamira caves using that red and yellow ochre that was sitting around. That's as far as I could get, but someone else will have to look into the AC archives during the Adam & Eve era. With neither Adam or Eve reportedly having anything to do with AC, it makes you sort of wonder who actually invented this site. ;) To be serious: You have a unique (yet dark) writing style that's refreshing in this section.
