        This is the closest to correct. The window was high enough, and they were still alive when they were thrown out the window.

        The people who did the throwing said essentially "Let's see if your God will save you" as they threw them out. As it happened, they landed in a large pile of horse manure, and escaped from there.

        So Kamrat X, I'm turning this over to you, unless you want to use the exploding body question from earlier.

                Yep. As the Nobel prize committé wrote:

                "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect"
                Your turn KH.

                    Since KH´s gone AWOL I´ll ask another question:

                    Which swedish king lost Finland to the russians and what year?

                      Crap... I should know this How bad my medium term memory is...

                      Hmm... I'm guessing his name might have contained Gustav, and the year was around 1710 or so.

                          Or perhaps Peter the Great did not get all of Finland. I seem to remember the statue of czar Alexander II in Senate Square in Helsinki... hmm... bad memory is bad.

                            Come on, I'm sure there must be some Finn online at 1am willing to answer this question and pose an easy one whose answer I know.

                              Hint: He was the son of a previous king that made a coup ´d etat and was later assasinated.

                                Holy crap. I can only remember the year, 1809. Alexander the II was the first czar to rule Finland, that I can remember.

                                Well, whoever that king was, did us a favour.

                                Edit: Gustav Adolf?
