History Teachers Turn Pop Songs Into the Coolest Visual Lessons Ever

Two Hawaiian teachers have taken a new approach to teaching their students by reworking lyrics to popular songs by artists like Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Gwen Stefani and more into some seriously cool visual history lessons ever. Some favorites, inside.

Here's their interpretation of the French Revolution, set to Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" and with lines like, "I need my bread / Bread, bread, bread / Off with her head."



For a lesson on Mary, Queen of Scots, they turned to Jennifer Lopez's "Jenny From The Block," where the departed leader sings, "Don't be fooled by the crown that I got / I'm still, I'm still Mary, Queen of Scots."



Want to learn about the Black Plague? Then jam along to this remake of Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl," with lyrics like, "Uh huh, it's the Plague / Gonna kill you in a few days."



A lesson on Reformation leader Martin Luther is set to the Bangles' "Manic Monday," featuring lines such as, "John Tetzel was uncouth, yeah / He was out to get that Martin Luther."



For a quickie on Cleopatra, they turned to Fergie's "Fergilicious," exclaiming, "Pharaohlicious, definition / Make them Romans angry."



And finally, how about Justin Timberlake's "Sexy/Back" for a lesson on William the Conquerer: "Eight colored wools / (Norman Invasion) / Embroidery / (Brought Feudalism)."

The Consumer Electronics Show that's going on right now is all about the latest gadgets plus new ones that will be hitting stores later this year. Along with all that are a good number of social parties that blend business with pleasure. Nvidia, however, has finally found a way to bring both together in a very cool case mod.

It's called the "kegputer" and it combines a beer keg with a full functioning gaming PC. It's something that Nvidia was showing off to early show-goers and we got an early eyes-on at a pre-show event.

Want to know what's inside? Besides BEER, it's made from an Intel Core i7-2600

Asus Sandy Bridge motherboard, Corsair SSD, 12GB of RAM, and two GeForce GTX 580 in SLI. Oh, and there's room to hold 40 servings of beer.

There's a vapor chamber cooling system… but that's for the brew! Stay tuned as we'll be checking it out when the tap is running.

That brings back memories of playing pokemon. I actually remember those stages too >.>
