-It was here that the concepts of 'Privilege' and 'Policy' were fused to create the basis of Neo-Policidy. The twenty-second century practice of yelling "Outbreak" as a form of salutation also began here. Reports of 'Archimedes' are thought to be accurate, but evidence has not been uncovered to prove such outbursts occur.

-==Warfare==
-*On October 5th, 2005, St. Francis High School officially declared war on both Canada and Peru. Due to unchecked aggression and numerous instances of annoyance, both of these so-called 'soverign nations' will soon be under the control of the Flying Spaghetti Monster's subsidiary eductional institution, St. Francis High School. As both of these nations have yet to develop modern warfare capability, and for that matter modern anything, we expect the war to be concluded in a matter of minutes.
-*Update- Approximately 7 minutes after war was declared on Canada, it succumbed to overwhelming ridicule and surrendered. As was expected, the French portions of Canada fell first, as they are in a perpetual state of surrender. Expect major news channels to begin reporting this in the next few weeks, as they only check up on Canada every month or so.
