Strange . . . I just finished (today, actually) Gulliver's Travels for school. I did know it was social commentary concerning England, but seeing as how I know virtually nothing about England during that age, I can't say I knew what he was referring to. Heck, I just got a kick out the Academy (I cannae remember the name of the place). Trying to extract the sunlight out of cucumbers made me laugh, for some reason. Anyway, very enlightening.
