<p>evertheoptimist… yeah now that i think of it you’e right. lol</p>
<p>"^Something similar, I put the trial of Socrates – for its legal and philosophical value. "</p>
<p>^^^ OMG I PUT THAT TOO. Uh oh! :P</p>
<p>No one else put the crucifixion?</p>
<p>Also, maybe not the place, but does anyone else have Stanford Application Status telling them that “Official SAT or ACT Scores” haven’t been processed? I sent them way back in September, so I’m wondering…</p>
<p>Haha, we’re cool like that, Elanorci. I was SCEA though, so it probably won’t matter.</p>
<p>I put the Chicago World Fair in 1893 – electric light FTW.</p>
<p>Class of 2011er here applying next year, but I would put Black Tuesday.</p>
<p>I put the Geneva Convention.</p>
<p>1969 Moon Landing </p>
<p>Nuff’ said : )</p>
<p>Renaissance.</p>
<p>2Leashes (from about 5 pages ago), I would actually think that someone who put “Woodstock” woud be exactly what Stanford would be looking for. I have a friend who went to Stanford a few years ago and he told me that TONS of people at Stanford put Woodstock! So no worries!</p>
<p>Anyway…here’s mine:</p>
<p>I would love to have seen the reaction of the world when Currer Bell (the pen name of Charlotte Bronte, author of Jane Eyre) turned out to be a woman. Because it must have been wonderful.</p>
<p>The invention of first working LASER
The birth of the first radio station in the world
The birth of GOOGLE search engine
The invention of the first electronical robot arm
Stanley, the robot car, winning the first ever driverless car race
The birth of internet
The invention of microprocessor
The invention of GPS
The birth of gene Cloning
The invention of satelite DISH
…</p>
<p>Guess what? All these were made possible by Stanford People!</p>
<p>I wrote the 1054 Supernova.</p>
<p>Don’t forget the birth of Yahoo as well, datalook</p>
<p>I put the Trinity Nuclear Test. I hope it wasn’t too much.</p>
<p>This is exactly what I wrote:</p>
<p>“Galileo at the Inquisition. It reminds me that we tend to be reluctant to accept new ideas that are against our current beliefs. However, even the powerful Church can be wrong, so we should always be open to new ideas and willing to change when necessary.”</p>
<p>Anyone agrees with me? =)</p>
<p>Well…unlike some of you, I listed several events indstead of one:
Miracle on Ice
Hillary & Norgay’s summiting Everest
1st landing on the Moon
Any post 1970 Olympic Games
The Last Supper</p>
<p>cuz I’m one cool kid. Notice how I used first landing on the moon because any subsequent landing didn’t appeal to me and any pre 1970’s Olympic games didn’t either b/c it’s too far back in the Olympic past.</p>
<p>Battle of Alesia</p>
<p>Really?? And, I’ve been reading through all these profound replies wondering about my daughter’s answer. Since I’m a positive thinker, I’ll take what you said to heart. Thanks. :)</p>

<p>Martin Luther nailing his theses to the church door in Wittenberg. Pope not happy.</p>
