Today in British Literature, we were reading Beowulf and we got to the part where Beowulf rips off Grendel’s arm and hangs it in Herot, and I looked over to my teacher and he had this stupid grin on his face so I looked up and saw tHIS.

just gonna reblog/signal boost this because I have a better picture and this was a thing that actually happened
 

so I told my teacher about this post and all he had to say was “make me internet famous.”
