Yes, well...(*ahem)...moving on...

5. When Adam dug and Eve span, who was then the gentleman?

Assuming that Adam and Eve were actual physical beings (which I doubt...I think they are symbolic or allegorical figures representing the whole human race in its early stages), the concept embodied in the term "gentleman" had not yet been conceived of at that time, therefore the question is irrelevant.

6. Who killed Kit Marlowe? Amy Robsart? Cock Robin? Davey Moore?

Who killed Kit Marlowe? Ha! Elementary, Watson. Sawney Bean? Quite possibly. Marlowe may have gone for an excursion, a sort of walkabout in the area where the Bean clan were wreaking their hideous attacks upon the locals, and been murdered, pickled, and eaten by those wretches. On the other hand, it may have been a common cutpurse in the streets of London wot did it. Or it could have been an acute attack of shingles.

Amy Robsart? What killed her was the 3rd step from the bottom.

Cock Robin? Carried off by a chicken hawk.

Davey Moore? Killed by an obscure ex-patriate Cuban boxer, technically speaking, but can he be assigned the entire blame? Hardly. Ask Bob Dylan to expound on that.

7. In light of recent revelations, who was the only woman in North American that JFK did not have an affair with?

My mother.

8. The Franklin Expedition was a damned good idea. Discuss.

Bloody right! The Franklin expedition was a simply ripping good idea. After all, Franklin had to demonstrate the manly British qualities which are: a stiff upper lip (easily achieved in temperatures like 50 below zero!), bloody-minded determination and perseverance in the face of all reason, single-minded devotion to duty, self-sacrifice in service of the Empire, abstinence from the pleasures of the flesh, dour unemotionalism when under severe stress (refer to stiff upper lip above), unwillingness to admit to making an error, and PRESSING ON, BY JOVE! He did all of that and more. If he had the chance to do it again, he would. This is the kind of thing that won England an Empire and thoroughly annoyed less advanced people all over the world in the process.

9. Field Marshall Douglas Haig was the best general Britian ever had. True or false? And explain yourself.

Ummmm...well...(cough, cough)...yes...ummm...I feel that General Haig, although unquestionably a figure who will be long remembered and will stand in the annals of glorious British feats of arms and steely resolution in the face of great difficulty...let me say that General Haig was certainly "up there", as it were, but he has stiff competition. Oh yes, indeed. Let us consider the example of General Braddock, for instance, a man who never let a few naked savages worry him, and never failed to see the forest for the trees! And then there was Lord Cornwallis, a stout heart to be sure. He was a man who knew how to seize destiny in his two hands and make of it what he chose! Then there was the esteemed General Dyer, who took it upon himself to restore domestic order in India when 20,000 unarmed swarthy people showed the very poor sense to gather in a public place without having obtained an official permit to do so! Tut! Tut! Can't allow that sort of thing, can we?

How do we rank Haig alongside these luminaries? Hard to say.

Some will assert that the Duke of Wellington was a superior general to General Haig. I for one feel that Haig is poorly served by this viewpoint. The Duke of Wellington did not have to deal with machine guns, did he? Not a single one! I submit that if he had had to deal with machine guns he would have lost half the battles he fought. Therefore, Haig was clearly superior to Wellington in every respect excepting one: Wellington had far better fashion sense.

10. Really now -- don't you think that Princess Victoria was one mighty foxy woman until she met Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha?

Oh, I say (cough, cough)...I am sure the young Princess Victoria had her admirers here and there. At least a handful of them...perhaps three or four. But it is my opinion that she did not fully flower into attractive womanhood until her marriage to Albert. Yes, indeed, it worked a splendid transformation upon the young Victoria, being a love match that would stand the test of time until Albert's tragic death from illness. Victoria mourned in seclusion for ten years! How magnificently "Victorian" can you get?

There. Now go away and stop pestering me! ;-)

p.s. Speaking for myself, I cannot remember whether or not I ever PM'd Teribus or got a PM from him, and I frankly don't give a damn. It's not worth going back through several hundred PMs to find out, now, is it? ;-)
