Food for Thought

Food for Thought is an episode of The Brothers series.
== Plot ==
Corey will not be able to graduate and go to Funland if he doesn't pass his history test on the American Revolution. Danny helps him study by telling him the story of Christopher Columbus. Apparently, the queen, Queen Isabella, sent Chris across the world to get some spices for her soup under the promise he could name the new world after himself and all school kids will get out of school on his birthday. After Danny messes up the story (by saying Columbus fell off the edge of the Earth), Simon takes over. Once Columbus arrived at what he believes is the East Indies (really the Bahamas), he tried to name it after himself (Columbus Land), but the natives (who he calls Indians) rejected the idea. A fellow explorer named Amerigo found the East Indies (really America) and, unlike Chris, managed to name the new land after himself. The next part of the review dealt with the pilgrims. The pilgrims went to America and created Thanksgiving as a thanks for surviving the harsh winter despite their odds.
The American colonials were tired of expensive tea, so they revolted starting with the Boston Tea Party. They win the first war (the American Revolution), sign the Declaration of Independence, and fight in the War of 1812. After Corey believes everything was great after the war, Simon tells him of a more legendary war against the Indians. General George Custer led his troops to fight Chief Sitting Bull but failed. Theodore is quizzed by his brothers and unfortunately only recalls the part about the pilgrims because it was about food. To help Corey remember important events, Simon cooks him breakfast so he can relate them to foods. The method works to secure Theo an A-. Later as Funland, Alvin becomes annoyed at Corey's new way to retain knowledge, while accidentally getting on the super-fast Space Coaster.
