Johann Georg August Galletti (19 August 1750 – 16 March 1828) was a German historian and geographer.Galletti was born in Altenburg.His fame is not based on his merits as an academic, but on his reputation as the creator of a few hundreds of stylistic howlers, becoming a legend as Kathederblüten (teacher's howlers) originated during his time as a professor at the Ernestine Gymnasium in Gotha.
He was known as the "absent-minded professor of Gotha" and died there aged 77.Some Kathederblüten of Galletti:
* After the Battle of Leipzig you could see horses with three, four, or even more legs shot off running loose all over the countryside. * Deiotarus was his father's son. * Indeed, Councillor, I am well pleased with Blädner, but with Seifert not at all; but at least he's better than Blädner. * So you think that history is as easy as playing schnapsen?
Ha!You can learn history in a flash, but learning schnapsen takes years of hard graft. * The African Lion usually grows up to the age of ten, and from then on, its size simply increases. * Alexander would have gone on to conquer all Asia; but he's going to die soon. * And thus, there ensued an entire war on page 94. * I've exited the monk too early.
His exit doesn't come earlier than right now. * Today, I'm once again seeing so many students that aren't there! * Watch out, I'm going to slap you if you aren't disobedient at once! * Charlemagne won as often against the Saxons that in the end they wouldn't even wait for it any-more. * Among the masterpieces of Demosthenes, we have his celebrated speech on the wreath.
This speech is well known to begin with the immortal words: "Which rascal is throwing spit wads here again?"
* And you, Schäfer, you don't belong amongst decent people at all.
Come to me at the lectern in front. * The Persians cried out loud: "Good Lord Jesus, the Athenians are coming!" and threw themselves into the sea. * The Venetian constitution is a mixed aristocracy which it is very difficult to get out of again. * The pig is justly named that way, for it is a very dirty animal. * The soldiers threw their weapons away and said: "pardon [me]". ("asking for pardon" means "asking for quarter" in German)
