History

okay THE story of the selection sort has been one told throughout the ages. It was invented by Oscar Wilde during the Bantu Migrations.

"Now seems like the perfect time to create a selection sort!" - Oscar Wilde on the perfect time to create a selection sort.

However, it was lost during the age of the Xia Dynasty due to heavy immigration of zombie Austronesians. It was later re-discovered by the Persian Empire during the first crusade led by Alexander the Great.

It was soon put to use in the city-state of Athens, used as a method for sorting the great masses of democrats and republicans... and the occasional Independent or Whig.

Oscar Wilde soon appeared to save his creation from the horrible shackles of democracy. He stole it away, and took it to the Mandalorians who tricked Oscar. They took his beautiful child- I mean sort to Demagol, who soon began testing the coorelation between midichlorians and its profound ability to sort things.

And then, a last alliance of men and elves came to destroy the one ring save the selection sort from the evil misunderstood ways of the mandalorians. The mandalorians fought hard and long and died in the end with honor. They did not disgrace their families that day. oh yes. oh... YES. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wait... um. where was I... oh yes, I remember now.

The selection sort then found Will on a crowded streetcorner, off the coast of Middle Earth. It proceeded to raise him as one of his own. It taught Will how to sort selectively, but Will became more powerful than his master, and he began expiriment with the dark side of sorting (radix). btw kasper just died. Anyway... Eventually the selection sort killed Hitler and ended WWII.

Many years later, during WWV, the selection sort showed great acts of bravery giving its own life to save the Squirrels. It was awarded with a medal of honor... and 3.14 purple hearts, which (historians assume) it sorted.

Now, many year later, after the rise of Mr. Yi's empire, the selection sort lives on, reading literature from better times (and sorting them of course) in its humble abode in Stalingrad.
