Ah, I'm so angry at myself for missing great balls of fire - for some reason my brain decided to say goodness gracious in a Julie Andrews voice rather than a Jerry Lee Lewis voice. There's a hilarious and well-loved commercial in Australia where a father tells his son that the Great Wall of China was built by 'Emperor Nasi Goreng' to keep the RABBITS out :D ("too many rabbits, in China...") That prompt cracked me up =D

Awesome quiz, but just one thing. The Great Wall wasn't built to keep barbarians out. The word barbarian refers to non Greeks as they thought all other languages sounded like barbarbar, especially of those in eastern Europe. Greeks used different words for people outside of Europe as barbarian majorly represented the nomadic tribes of Northern and Eastern Europe. The Greeks referred to the Mongols as the Mongols and used the word barbarian primarily to describe the Boeotians.

Not that I'm advocating this, but you could make the clue "nonsensical and derivative slogan put on red hat worn by racist orangutan" and the answer "Make America Great Again"- that would fit

Let us talk no more of the flood. While I agree that it happened, I am trying to keep the comment thread as "sacrilegious" as possible. Trying not to make any atheists curse us out. FOR THE SAKE OF THE CHILDREN!

I understand it was hard to contain yourself in those halcyon days when all manner of ridiculous commentary was rendered innocuous by the ever more absurd utterances of your dear leader, but that's all over now. At this point, such foolishness only serves as a glaring reminder of exactly how susceptible certain individuals are to the temptations of bigotry and hate as long they get to count themselves among the favored.

Pro-tip: you can delete your old comments when you find that they haven't held up well.

Another one here. I was mentally going through all "the Greats" - Peter, Catherine, Cyrus, etc. and couldn't think of any who were Chinese. It was the only one I didn't have so at the end I was desperately trying things like Ming, Qing, even Confucious. I can be such a ninny. :)

Just a suggestion for clarity...if the clue is a quote and the answer is the completion of that quote, it would be implicitly clearer if the clue was in quotes.

"Goodness, gracious..." conveys more clearly that you want us to complete the phrase.
