Cool quiz!! I missed Hamlet because I know that Shakespeare often delves into history. But in this case... no. Hamlet as it transpires was based on an old Scandanavian legend... oh well. "Insobriety, thy name is Vodka!".

Who the hell is Johnny Appleseed? I’ve never heard of him before in my life. He was the only one I got wrong too, pure 50:50 guess.

The process for shrinking heads is pretty fascinating. One of those many things humans do that leaves you wondering "who was the first person to try this and why?"
