Long Island and Martha's Vineyard.

One of these is correct.... there are two more though (guess it would have been helpful to mention that there are 3 islands in total).

Ceylon, Long Island, and Rick Perry.  I mean Diego Garcia.  I don't know, I'm totally guessing.

I'm guessing it's somewhere in the Americas.  The Long Island colony and probably some island in the Caribbean.
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

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Long and Staten Islands as well as Manhattan along with the rest of New Netherlands?

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.

Correct.  In retrospect, what a shitty trade. :)

If you let someone handcuff you, and put a rope around your neck, don't act all surprised if they hang you!

Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain. Let your opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones; let him fracture your bones and you take his life. Do not be concerned with escaping safely - lay your life before him.

That question was questionable Yi rule wise.

How many times was the Library of Alexandria destroyed and who destroyed it each time.

I had a question for you guys, but Viking beat me to it. :(

I'll say destroyed only once, by no one as it was accidental fire, not arson.

Ideologue

For some reason I thought the Fatimids destroyed it.

Once by the Romans
Once by the Muslims
