Missed the beer flood and Genghis Khan question. I watched a show about the different methods of torture Genghis Khan used and, like Linda, I have trouble believing he was tolerant of anything

Missed Beer Flood, Genghis Khan, 3D glasses. I remember 3D glasses as a kid. They didn't work for me because I had amblyopia.

I liked the quizz, but thought the beer question was not reasonable. Just knowing that there was such an incident should have been enough. The number killed makes the question difficult to answer without looking it up...

David Smith, Not sure about your comment regarding the slavery question. The question was asked to show that slavery was not only in the southern U.S. as some may think due to the Civil War and the south wishing to not free their slaves.

There were 7 Cleopatras of Egypt. Cleopatra the 7 had a Macedonian Greek mother and the Egyptian Pharoah was her father, and everything else is a pure lie.
