When my sister and I were little, there was a stretch of road where a section of a hill had been blown away. The hill was somewhat rough because the hill was recently blown up, very steep and made of loose dirt so not much could grow.
One day my sister asked why the hill looked like that and I replied because the last battle of the civil war blew apart the hill and to remember the battle, the road was built.
My sister believed that until she studied the civil war. Her teacher asked where the last battle of the civil war took place and she replied 'Ohio near 270'. Her teacher had a hard time convincing her otherwise.
We still laugh about that today, I'm 22 and she's 20.
