me: Because that isn’t their intended behavior.
B: ::looks at me skeptically::

I was showing her the brackets for the March of Time Madness.

Me: Victorian Era or Enlightenment?
Her: Enlightenment, for sure!
Me: Elizabethan Era or Dark Ages?
Her: Elizabethans!
Me: Viking Era or Minoan Greece?
Her: Vikings!
Me: Nooooo! Minoan Greece!
Her: Dude, the Vikings buried their dead in FLAMING SHIPS!
Me: Dude, the Minoans had the MINOTAUR.
