Is This Kid The Biggest Dork In The History Of The World?

NEW YORK, May 3 (UPI) — A budding historian, age 13, is being lauded for finding an error in a map on permanent display in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. Benjamin Lerman Coady, a seventh-grader from West Hartford, Conn., with a passion for history, visited the Museum with his mother last summer, toured an exhibit on Byzantine art and noted a map, drawn to display the Byzantine Empire at its largest in the 6th Century, was incorrect. The conquests of Spain and part of Africa were missing, and Benjamin informed a docent, who instructed him to fill out a form, the Hartford (Conn.) Courant reported Thursday. “The front desk didn’t believe me,” he said. “I’m only a kid.” But curator Helen Evans did, and after several months of review sent him an e-mail reading, in part, “You are, of course, correct about the boundaries of the Byzantine Empire under Justinian.” The Museum is considering adding a second map to the display to correct the error, and invited Benjamin back for a private tour, the newspaper said. While the young historian takes pride in his attention to detail, his aspirations go beyond history and museums. “I want to move to Greenwich and open a modern exotic car shop,” he said.
Listen I’m not gonna sit here and tell you I’m some tough guy who was always super cool. I played Magic: The Gathering and I was pretty much a die hard Star Trek: The Next Generation fan. But Benjamin Lerman has gotta be fucking kidding me with this shit. Pointing out that the borders of the Byzantine Empire are incorrect on a map in a museum is the biggest dickhead move in the whole world. Now some pour curator has gotta make a whole new map and display just because your ginger ass complained about something nobody else was gonna notice. Its like people who correct grammar x 800,000,000. Hey KFC its “you’re” not “your!” Oh really? Well why don’t you and Benjamin Lerman go fuck each other in the corner talking about grammar and the accuracy of 6th century maps.
Ben let me give you a little word of advice. You’re in 7th grade. Your life should consist of three things and three things only: 1) Riding bikes 2) Playing video games and 3) Your quest for your first handjob. Thats it. Forget about opening a modern exotic car shop. Forget about the Byzantine Empire under Justinian. And for God’s sake get a haircut and ditch the bubble jacket. You look like Pete from Pete and Pete.

Het KFC, it’s “That’s” not “Thats”. Just FYI.
“Some pour curator” indeed. It must have been torcher.
You obviously wrote “some pour curator” on purpose so somebody would correct your dumb grammar and have to go fuck Benjamin Lerman in the corner.
magic the gathering eh KFC? is it cool yet to say “tap that mana” when referring to sex?
I like your grammer rant only sentences after the use of “pour” instead of “poor”…and seriously magic? Did some spell give you that lazy eye?
Opened a “modern exotic car museum in Greenwich” is single handedly the most bougie thing ever said. Without a doubt some hedgefunder in brooks brothers is beating it to the idea.
Why don’t you just spell things the right way, you fucktard. You’re supposed to be a professional writer. Barstool Moscow doesn’t have any grammatical errors. You are contributing to the pussification of American language. And Ben Coady is right. Scoreboard.
Chill out there kid from “Problem Child”. No one gives a shit about your maps bro. Go be an asshole to John Ritter or some shit….oh wait
KFC, I honestly just got pretty sad when u said u played Magic and star trek bro. Damn i thought you were cool
i work with a 40year old rahtard who plays magic and star wars n star trek shit, now everytime i read a blog kfc, im no doubt gonna think of him and bang my fucking head on my desk. thanks
bullshit — that little kid is a fucking boss. yeah he’s awk as fuck now, but one he hits college all the bitches are going to want to date the ivy leaguer. i can go without memories of my first (dry) handjob from some chick back in middle school.
A+ blog.
This kid is an idiot. I work in Greenwich (suck my balls, 99%ers) and there is a modern exotic car shop on every corner. Maybe give up being a history nerd and take a business class.
pour.
@BillyBaroo he said “museum” not shop and yes exotic cars in every corner.
A blog ..
KFC, my green/white deck would’ve run a train all over your mana. Killer bees and Serra Angels everywhere.
Did I say that out loud?
@stro, nope. Definitely aside “shop”
*said
is ncen the only one who understands what barstool writers do? honestly? you morons really dont realize he spelled “pour” like that on purpose? man, i bet you think prez thinks he’s athletic too.
good luck with the rent you chump!
KFC, I’m missing the context for which you refer to this kid as a “ginger ass?” Do you mean it as a euphamism for being a pussy, cause I dont see any red hair on Benji.
When I was in 7th grade I was dropping e and hitting up bars on North Avenue….oh and playing Magic
Hey Metropolitan Museum of Art, if you don’t want to a) be corrected by a 13 year old, and b) have to redo your maps, get your shit together and do it right the first time. As for you Benjamin, the last person you should be taking advice from is Kevin Francis Clancy. Guy is a fucking depressed blogger with a lazy eye and no health insurance (not to mention a drinking problem). And KFC, if you liked “Magic” and “Star Trek” as a kid, I have some news for you bro – you were a fucking nerd.
Also, I would be willing to bet any amount of money that this kid is more successful by his late twenties than KFC the joke maker will ever be.
