Interesting blog article: https://grumpygeophysicist.wordpress.com/2017/10/02/monolithic-logic/

Excerpt: "Just as the term monolith has no really geologic meaning, it seems it has little objective basis."

Before 1922 Sobhuza II did not officialy reign over eSwatini. This makes it only 61 years of reign. Louis XIV officialy reigned for 72 years making it longer than Sobhuza's reign.

Seriously, can you imagine being married to 125 women? I can't even imagine myself being married to just one.

The monolith question accepted "rock" as an answer, but not "stone." Any reason for the distinction? Also, was I the only person who tried something else for what King Sobhuza II had the longest of? Or am I just really immature?

I'm just imagining how you would know he had the longest. Did the UN secretary-general send out a letter to all the kings? "I need to measure your ding-dong. Meet me tomorrow behind the Denny's. I'm bringing the measuring tape"
