I hate to nitpick, but the Iron Age isn't considered prehistoric since writing (and thus the historical era) was invented before the iron smelting.

I often go for Iron Working before Writing because revealing iron on the map is useful for figuring out ideal placement for early settlers.

Civilization, one of the greatest things since sliced bread. Oh, Sid Meier, you have our eternal gratitude. Not to be confused with Civony(or Evony), which is one of the worst things since... um... never mind.

I tried dragon kingdom land. I knew it was game of thrones and that there is a dragon in it, that is the extent of my knowledge about it.

So why is an Iron Maiden considered a torture device and not an execution device? Was it used in some case to chop of limbs instead of the head?

I think you are thinking of a guillotine? An iron maiden is sort of a metal sarcophagus lined inside with spikes, that I believe was never actually used as a real medieval torture device but invented later and purported to be one, and now can be found all over Europe in those kitschy and 90% BS tourist trap museums of torture in cities like Prague, Budapest, and San Marino.

Curious--is the Stalin one specifically associated with Stalin for some reason, or was he just picked as a classic example of a dictator?

Not just that, but he had more of a perm look. I don't think he used a curling iron to get that appearance. All indications were he just had naturally curly hair. None of it makes me think of curling iron.

Also, I got stuck on the bleach blonde part and kept trying to think of some chemical compound with iron in the name that was used to bleach hair.

There was a SpongeBob episode where the doctor told SpongeBob that he would get an iron butt if he wasn't careful, which prompted SpongeBob to stay inside his house forever and ever out of fear of getting an iron butt.

You should include the iron butt in this quiz.
