Further in the same student essay, I'm told there's a website where
you can learn how many people in Afghanistan are currently writing
about or have recently written about feeling hairy or happy or huge:

This, only one day after once again considering in class E. H. Carr's
notion that some things don't count as historical facts because they
are too trivial. I gave as an example, flies laying eggs in Mongolia
in April of 1562. Ha! Now that we know how often Tamil males under
the age of ten who have access to computers express irritation at not
finding fine rhymes, we shall have to revise our notion of available
data. If not history.
