    Well, how can anybody check up on that? In any case I think it is assumed that you use your own knowledge, but it can't hurt to use the internet. Though at times it can't be done and you only have yourself to draw on...

    Maybe TosaInu could add the Jeopardy final music to the web site?

    I guess using internet, encyklopedias and other sources or not will be up to the individual. No harm in that really I think

    If it takes longer then, lets say two hours, before a new question is asked by a person answering the previous question, then the first person noticing this can ask a new question.

    Well ill ask the next question just to get the thread to continue;

    What was the name of the shortlived (good) Swedish colony in Africa in mid 17th century?`

    Kraxis, please sticky this. It deserves because at least at TWC, it has a big success. I hope it does here.

    My question:
    When was the conquerer of Constantinople born? (exact day, month, year!)

    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    March 30 1432, it says here. Which was a Thursday, I think. That's the conquerer of Constantinople anyway. I've no idea about any African Swedish colonies!!! Do we have to answer both before another question can be posed?

    I don't think so.

    Here's a really difficult one:
    Portuguese colony established in the South of Africa.
    Which is it, and when it was established?


    I'll give a prize to whoever answers this.

    How long did the republic of TEXAS last?
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
