Forget about all those dates, battles & boring people - lists & lists to memorize. I love history - not history classes, because they never teach you the good stuff. The royal treachery, the peasant riots, the polygamous kings & bloodthirsty hellions. Over the years I've amassed a good amount of knowledge about most kinds of history, ancient being one of my definite favorites, but I'll address a more general history here. So you may have taken history. But do you know what really happened?

    In ________, 1888, Jack the Ripper claimed 5 women's lives in one of the most grisly serial murder cases of all time. He was never found.

  2. 2

    Cleopatra VII Philopator is famous, among other things, for having 'ties' with a very historically famous man. Some say men, and some argue over which man it even is. What's the truth?

  3. 3

    Why did Columbus 'name' the Native Americans 'Indians?'

  4. 4

    Which ghastly plague is the nursery song 'Ring Around the Rosy' referring to? Just so you know, three of these answers are bogus. :o

  5. 5
