Who said "Aristole would have written more, if he had done any cooking."
Sorry for taking so long, I forgot about this.
Sor Juana.
Ask Tiberius. I want to answer. ~D
Which hero from the Iliad (not a famous one) eventually settled in Italy and became a god there, and what famous possessions did he own?
Sorry if it's more mythical than historical, I'm in a rush. Reply if you want another question.
Aeneas. Forgot the famous posessions though....
You're correct I guess, but I was actually looking for someone else. Hint: he fought for the Greeks and was required to win the war.
Diomedes?
Negative.
Hint: He was actually needed to win: it was a prophecy that said that the Greeks had to have him on their side, because he was absent for one reason or another.
Idomeneus perhaps?
No again.
OH! Philoctetes with his magic bow and stinking foot.
Not just the bow of Hercules, the arrows as well :wink:
Yeah, that's true.
Anyway, what was the bloodiest war of the 19th century?
i would have to go with either the neapolon wars or the franco-prussian war.
I do believe its the Napoleonic wars.
Well, that's really a series of wars, but even so, no.
I'd have said the Napoleonic wars too, but if not...aha. The Taiping Rebellion 1851-1864?
Definitely TaiPing.
Question Matteus?
ok...this man was the lover of a widowed queen. He was defeated at the battle of Mortimer's Cross and executed in a marketplace. Who was he?
Owen (sp?) Tudor?
correct, lost his head in Hereford, where you can still see the memorial in the marketplace...
over to you!
Oh, right, umm, an easy one: the connection please, between the R100 airship, the Wellington bomber, and the Grand Slam bomb?
all designed by Barnes Wallis, i assume. He went to the same school as me...
Good. Over to you Matteus! :book:
ok, last one from me, it's time someone else had a go!
Which of his battles did the Duke of Wellington always consider to be his finest performance as a general?
