I took four semesters of Physics way back in college. It was almost as much a history class as a science class, IMHO.
EDIT: I was only required to take three semesters, but I had to hear the rest of the story and took Modern Physics as an elective. It also ended up being my best grade in Physics.

I'm in Texas and was talking with my neighbor about how Dia del los Muertos has become more popular in the US versus 20 years ago.

That's interesting. I had never given too much thought about how hoaxes over the centuries could become thought of as "real history".
