Did that Pharoah who conquered Romania see mystical Ankhs on his wall?

It isn't about Romania  :mad:... Actually I never heard a local historian being interested in this. Oh, and fuck Romania! I'm not a fucking fanboy of a stupid state...

Are you claiming to be cured of Balkantardism then?
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Depends. If Balkantardism means nationalism aimed at growing the size of a state led by morons, it was not my disease. However, if Balkantardism means the attempt to demolish the current states and revert to a medieval-type community, then I'm all for it.

Oh yeah, Sesostris III, how could I have forgotten that guy!?  Everyone knows who he is. :blink:

1. I'm more German/Jewish than Romanian, but hey, whatever turns your balls!  :rolleyes:
2. Sesostris III is one of the most famous pharaohs ever. Can't help it if Tutankamon is the default choice for most people when it comes to naming rulers of Ancient Egypt.

If nobody volunteers, here's another question:

In what year was Jesus born, according to Dionysius Exiguus? 1 BC or 1 AD?

I'll pick the other one so we'll have all our bases covered.
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

Trick question. He didn't specifically mention the correct year. But judging by his earlier calculations, it's generally approved that he placed Jesus' birth in 1 BC (which is, of course, a funny paradox).

Rozgovory is up.

I'm glad it's approved.  I had a good one, just give me a moment to remember it.

Damn those Volkdeutsche Judische Rumanians and their trick questions.

Oh yeah, it goes well with my last one.


Name the seven liberal arts.

You forgot: Obamanomics. :)

That is just a branch of the bipartisan science of voodoo economics, the art of conjuring money from thin air.
