<p>first time man went on the moon! Lame and had nothing to do with the rest of my app but oh well</p>

22

<p>I was mostly the religious type, so I put something I got inspired by Assassin’s Creed.</p>

<p>The Shroud of Turin, due to carbon dating, was theorized that the image was actually not of Jesus’s but of the last of the Templar Grand Masters, Jacques de Molay’s. I said I wanted to attend his execution to see whether this was true.</p>

23

<p>Tiananmen square: June 4th, 1989.</p>

24

<p>I put the Battle of Thermopylae. I have a genuine interest in Ancient Greek history, but everyone thinks it’s just because of 300, haha.</p>

25

<p>The creation of Pokemon. </p>

<p>How I ever got in I’ll never know…</p>

26

<p>The first ever performance of Bela Bartok’s revolutionary (and BRILLIANT!!!) Concerto for Orchestra. Love that man’s works.</p>

27

<p>The Big Bang, provided I was immune to its obviously lethal effects.</p>

28

<p>Fall of the Berlin Wall</p>

29

<p>The Creation of the Universe.</p>

30

<p>I seriously thought about putting the big bang (or creation of the universe, or whatever), and I also seriously considered writing about dinosaurs.</p>

31

<p>mine was:</p>

<p>the last eruption of yellowstone’s supervolcano</p>

32

<p>also, i have to agree with you silverlego:</p>

<p>The creation of Pokemon. :D</p>

<p>omg, good times</p>

33

<p>lol creation of Pokemon is awesome!</p>

34

<p>"Wasn’t Jesus supposed to be immaculately concepted? What would there have been to watch? I wrote that I wanted to be a part of the women’s suffrage movement, and that I wanted to live to shout WE SHALL OVERCOME only a few decades later. "</p>

<p>That’s the question, was it immaculate?</p>

35

<p>The inauguration of President John F. Kennedy. </p>

<p>To have witnessed that famous speech in person, rather than watching it decades later, would have been an amazing experience.</p>

36

<p>The building of the Great Pyramids at Giza.</p>

37

<p>The Cambrian Explosion :)</p>

<p>I couldn’t think of anything very history-ey. Still, if you google image it you come up with… pretty awesome stuff.</p>

38

<p>does everyone really put the signing of the declaration of independence? that’s what I put :(</p>

39

<p>FYI the verb is “conceived,” not “concepted”. Hope nobody wrote that on their application!</p>
