fur baron John Jacob, my brain finished that with Jingleheimer Schmidt and then couldn't get it out. Sometime my brain doesn't work how I would like.

Also couldn't think of anything other than Jacobite for the Whig one, I blame that on my currently reading Kidnapped.

I enjoyed the quiz despite my malfunctioning brain.

Before I came up with "Tories" I was hung up on the U.S. Whigs, and I knew the letters were not available for "Democrats".

Maybe its just me, but I don't love when there's 3-letter responses on these quizzes. They just seem like cheap filler when there are still other good answers that could be used. It's like using 2-letter answers in Boggle.

Or Scrabble. (two letter words in Scrabble are one of my pet peeves).

I think you only officially get scoring words in boggle for 3 and up but they are pretty pointless as you just try to stop the other guy cashing in. I can't see what is wrong with 2 letter words in scrabble; the idea is to score high and use up letters first and sometimes two tiles are the best way to do that.

AI and ZA are my favorites in Scrabble. Two letter words are excellent if you're playing to win. Although sometimes you have to open up the board with 5 or 6 letter words.

Yeah but his entire family were ethnic Serbians. If we were retroactively applying ethnicities to people based on modern day borders, Catherine the Great would be claimed by the Polish and Freud would be Czech.

According to the Biblical account, after Solomon died, ten of the 12 tribes of Israel broke away, leaving only Judah and Benjamin. Thereafter, the 10-tribe kingdom to the north is referred to as Israel, while the 2-tribe kingdom to the south, encompassing Jerusalem, is referred to as Judah.

Assyria conquered Samaria, the capital of the northern 10-tribe kingdom in 740 BCE. They threatened Jerusalem in 732 BCE, during the reign of Hezekiah, but had their entire army of 185,000 men wiped out in one night by God's angel, according to 2 Kings 19:35, following God's assurance that he would defend the city of Jerusalem.
