1. Which English general saw defeat at Yorktown, Virginia in October 1781 but like Douglas McArthur let others go through the humiliation of the surrender?
Lord Carnarvon ✓
Charles Aznavour ✓
Charles Cornwallis ✓
Charles III, King of Swing, Sweden and Camille Parker-Bowles cami-knickers ✓
Apparently Cornwallis could not face the prospect of handing over his item of cutlery to a colonial or a Frenchman who not only stepped on his dick... they jumped on it. Cornwallis got one his subordinates to do it for him.
2. Italian painter. Baroque movement. Murderer. Sentenced to death. Talked his way out of execution by insinuating himself into the Vatican. Realistic paintings that capture horror and sexual depravity quite nicely. Died of lead poisoning or murder. Recent studies point to the latter being the case. Probably insane. Works include 'Medusa' and 'Judith Beheading Holofernes'. The names say it all, fight fans.
Frederic Chopin ✓
Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio ✓
Annibale Carracci ✓
Chauncey Gardiner ✓
3. "They train young men to drop fire on people... but they won't allow them to write 'f**k' on their aircraft... because it's obscene."
Curt Jurgens ✓
Captain Cirk ✓
Colonel Curtz ✓
Calvin Coolidge ✓
4. Got his bottom smacked in the English Civil War and to add insult to injury had his head shaved off at the insistence of a man who did not believe that life was something to be enjoyed.
Charles Parker Jr. ✓
Charlie Sheen ✓
Charles Lindbergh ✓
Charles I ✓
5. Prussian general and military theorist. "War is the continuation of policy with other means."
Carl Schmitt ✓
Carl Friedrich Gauss ✓
Carl Bosch ✓
Carl von Clausewitz ✓
6. This French, man of the cloth, was another maggot who stuck his nose in politics for his own enrichment. Known as 'the red eminence'. Credited with inventing the table knife.
Cardinal Wolsey ✓
Cardinal Richelieu ✓
Cardinal Sin ✓
Cardinal Direction ✓
7. This Tennessee-class battleship was born November 20, 1919. It was sunk at Pearl Harbour in December 1941. Refloated. It was hit by a kamikaze. Collided with the USS Tennessee. Fired a few rounds at the Battle of Okinawa and was involved in the Occupation of Japan. Scrapped in 1959.
USS Cleveland ✓
USS Connecticut ✓
USS Colorado ✓
USS California ✓
8. US cavalry colonel. Breveted a general during the fisticuffs between the grits smokers and the Maine lobster munchers of 1861-1865. He chose wisely. He was appointed by the US government to bully a boy named Sioux and his horse, Crazy. A US documentary series 'Battlefield Detectives' unearthed evidence in the 1990s that this gentleman's last donnybrook was not a shoulder-to-shoulder "Don't shoot till you see the whites of their eyes" affair. It was more in the region of "Let's get the flock outta here! They're right on my ass... and they ain't stoppin' fer shit!"
Colonel Joshua Chamberlain ✓
General Mark Clark ✓
Colonel George Armstrong Custard ✓
Colonel Mickey Mouse Mustard ✓
9. Which of these canals was completed first?
Suez Canal ✓
Erie Canal ✓
Panama Canal ✓
Elementary Canal ✓
Erie Canal - October 26, 1825. Suez Canal - November 17, 1869. Panama Canal - August 15, 1914. Elementary Canal - The day Adam was created by the creator of all things... I presume. 🤔
10. Napoleon Bonaparte had three sisters. One named Pauline. One named Elisa. The last of the trio?
Catherine ✓
Cassandra ✓
Chloe ✓
Caroline ✓
11. This comedian/actor had a funny way of being mobile without the assistance of a horse/mule/donkey etc or a man-made conveyance. He had a penchant for slapping around waiters from Catalonia.
John Coward ✓
John Trevor Coward ✓
John Cheese ✓
Noel Coward ✓
'Cheese' was his family name until his father changed it when he enlisted in the British army.
12. Wee lass from Normandy who stabbed a Jacobin in his bath and had her head trimmed off four days later for her trouble. In 1793.
Coco Chanel ✓
Catherine Howard ✓
Charlotte Corday ✓
Charlotte Bronte ✓
