Since the early 1600's, residents in a German Bavarian town -a German village tucked away 40 miles south-west of Munich at the lower edge of Bavaria- produced a play every ten years depicting the life and death of Jesus after God spared them from today's trivia result.

HINT at this BUGGER!

Another trivia...it's what we do around here!

She was born in 1780 into a rich Quaker family in England. She received education and spend her youth flollowing her mother who tended to the poor and sick. Giving birth to 11 children did not stop her from following in her Mom's footsteps and in 1813 she visited for the first time Newgate Prison. An experience that shaped the rest of her life and even resulted in a book. In 1818 she spoke to people in Parliament and in 1823 the Gaol Act was passed that helped to improve living conditions in prisons. This charitable woman passed in 1845 and since 2002 can be seen on the back of a Bank of England note!

Now ...to the comment section with the lot of you and hint at this queen of a woman!

Weekend - Trivia

This weekend we are looking for a physicist, born in Poland or Germany depending on your point in time. And to make things more complicated, he spend most of his life in the Netherlands. Despite having an angelic first name, his first invention in 1709 was a compilation of heat and alcohol. He adapted it 5 years later and used mercury instead of alcohol, differently toxic but probably less religiously offensive.


Any ideas? Measure your wisdom in the comment section with a HINT. If your brain is frozen, wait a bit...other hints might come in and warm things up for you...let the games begin!

Oh yes, it is trivia time!

Most of you know the rules; if you are new, here's the short version:

1. Don't blurt out the answer. Leave a witty remark in the comment section that paraphrases, disguises or hints to your guess. I'll judge if you were right.
2. Don't point fingers at others and laugh. ( a treat reserved for the host of this blog and yellow budgies!)
3. Don't finish the cookies!

let's go...

A man born in London in 1633. He started to write a diary in 1660 and continued writing it until 1669, I guess he had a lot to say. Bad eyesight stopped him to continue. In fact, his diary gives us insights into his time, hello!...things like The Great Plague and the Great Fire of London were causing havoc and he also buried a big cheese we are told, to protect his house from catching fire. I guess he had his reasons, perhaps bad eyesight!

More interestingly, he wrote in letters that looked like a code and was referred to as Shelton's shorthand. He died in 1703, probably not of glaucoma.



Who's the man? Now of to the comment section with you and let the fun begin! HINT away!
