Yes, I am using PAF... but on second thought, I'm gonna "call" slam instead now that he's online.

Sorry, I actually had to do some work for a moment.

On the other hand, I actually know this one.

Strong force is the strongest of the 4. Weak force is the 2nd weakest.

Gravity, counterintuitively, is actually the weakest of these.

NellyLunatic1980 · #56 Post by **NellyLunatic1980** » Tue Oct 23, 2007 4:03 pm

Very well. I will go along with gravity, which is choice... *looks back at the posts* A.

Sanguine is another reference in this stack of questions to blood. It certainly applies to Robespierre, as he had Louis XVI sent to the guillotine.

I'll have to say C, Robespierre, final answer.

Yup, Max Rob is correct. Very Good

I know Clooney played Danny Ocean in one of the "Ocean's" films. I've seen "Eleven" and "Twelve", but I just cannot recall this quote.

I better switch the question.

(For the record, I would've guessed C.)

Shade · #65 Post by **Shade** » Tue Oct 23, 2007 4:47 pm

It's a good thing you switched the question because the answer was B. Oceans Twelve

Pacelli was Pope Pius XII... Sarto was Pius X. I'll say Albino Luciani.

Crap... wrong $500,000 Pope question.

OK, my gut is telling me that Pius was a cardinal.

My answer will be B, Urban IV, who was not a cardinal. Final answer.
