Hi! ) 

Let me be professor Bee and try your mind and memory! 

I found out a very interesting article for you with nice questions to try your mind and memory and general knowledge. 

Each right answer will bring a point to the owner and the winner will have a prize from me! By the way, a real one!) So are you ready to try? And please - don't use google :) let's be honest!) 

Question #1: 

In 1445 in Moscow the bells on the churches rang very loudly and citizens decided the the doom day came. The same event was in 1091 in Kiev, in 1230 in Vladimir, and in 1802 in Moscow again. What was the reason for it?

    i am afraid that too heavy stuff

    • Hey when participants fail to reply, the questioner show give the answer.

    • Charles XIV John of Sweden

      also known as  Jean Bernadotte, was one of Napoleons generals, during Anti-Royal Revolution in France (1799-1815)

      Charles XIV John, King of Sweden 1818-1844, had a tattoo which said "Death to Kings" or "Long live the republic" - here

      so, he was against monarchs during revolution, thats why he made tatto: "death to kings", but soon changed his mind, after dying king of Sweden called him. Sweddish king had no sons, thats why he called Jean to continue royal dynasty.

    • Thanks S.I.T.N!

  • if anyone still here, then here we are:)

    when founder of sitting royal dynasty in Sweden died,  doctors found tatoo on his body: "Death to Kings", despite the fact he was king by himself. Why he had this tatoo?

    • Stranger in the night, what an interesting question. Any clues?

  • put that in your pipe and smoke it

    It may mean:
    Let it go the idea which is unworkable.
    Let it go off the unwanted thing.

    I am not sure.
