ISLAMATHEMATHICA
Without islamic scientists, you would have been (even) worse at maths. Our numbers have an Arabic origin. The “math” in islamathemathica may be a coincidence, but it’s also a funny reference. Hundreds of crucial inventions were done during the islamic golden age. A lot of them are still used today! Think of toothbrushes, but also universities and hospitals as we know them. And the muslims did all that while constantly being attacked by crusaders and the Mongolian Empire.
