TEH Shiva's turn.

[Ecthy]

Oh come on, Hitler NEVER studied to be a priest! Cite ONE source!

[Dinner]

He didn't study to be come but did think about it.

As a young boy he idolized the priests and for two years seriously considered becoming a priest himself. He especially admired the Abbot in charge, who ruled his black-robbed monks with supreme authority. At home Hitler sometimes played priest and even included long sermons.

At age nine, he got into schoolboy mischief. He was caught smoking a cigarette by one of the priests, but was forgiven and not punished.

So he didn't "study" it, and my offer of both having been artists in training is the closest to truth.

black-robbed monks

I get the feeling this is not the most authoritative of sources..

[Krill]

Can we have another question?

[onodera]

Who was the first Bolshevik martyr?

The people.

ACK!

[Dinner]

Not sure but did he die in the 1905 revolution? I'm sure some Bolsheviks died long before 1917.

[onodera]

Yes, yes he did.

[Will9]

BUMP

Since onodera stumped us, It's his turn again.

[Zkribbler]

Or since Lord Shiva answered my question correctly, it's his turn.

SOMEBODY take a turn....

[Zkribbler]

No one?? Then how about this:

Who was the SECOND person to fly solo across the Atlantic?

[Tiamat]

Amelia Earhart it would be. First woman and second person.

[Zkribbler]

Ding! Ding! Ding! Winner! Winner!

Go, Tia!
