I reckon I should think of a question then.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Meh.  I can't think of anything clever.  So uh, just name the Nine worthies.  That's pretty easy.

On the bright side you got about half right.

I'm pretty sure Charlemagne is in there, and either Arthur or one of his knights. There's a famous Roman, maybe Caeser but I'm not certain. The Biblical ones I have no clue on, but I'd guess King David as one of them.

It was asked here?  Huh.  Must have been a long time ago.  I don't remember it and apperently nobody else does well enough either.

Much closer!  You are on the right track.  Drop Solomon and Hannibal and we'll talk.
