He had earlier rejected the title, but Popes don't take no for an answer. This was also deemed the First Reich.

3. Which two sports stars in this group went to high school together?

They even made a Nike commercial about this one.

4. What is the chemical composition of the essential ingredient in fire?

Fire needs good, old-fashioned oxygen.

5. Which of the following world leaders was NOT assassinated?

Gandhi was shot to death in India, Garfield was killed in a Washington DC railroad station, and Alexander II was killed by a bomb thrown at him in 1881.

6. Which of these was not a 'remake'?

Answer: 'Seven Years in Tibet' starring Brad Pitt

The original Father of the Bride was made in the 1950s, The House... originally starred Vincent Price in the 1960s, and Anna and the King starred Yul Bryner in its original go.

7. Which of the following Roman Emperors died of natural causes?

Answer: Constantine

Nero committed suicide with some help because he couldn't muster the courage, Caligula was killed by his own bodyguards, and Julius Caesar was stabbed by Brutus.

8. Near the equator, there are areas where there is no wind. What are these areas called?

Answer: Doldrums

Doldrums were the fear of every sailor. Setting in one place long enough, ships were known to have crews die of dehydration and starvation before they made it out.

9. What ex-Civil War General ran against Lincoln in the 1864 presidential election on the platform of ending the war and letting the South secede?

Answer: General McClellan

Other useless knowledge: Burnside is the namesake of the hair-cut term sideburns due to his long outrageous ones.

10. Which of the following was NOT a saint as deemed by the Roman Catholic Church?

Answer: Thomas Hobbes

Thomas Hobbes published a pamphlet describing the wrongs of the Catholic Church during the Reformation. For some odd reason, the church didn't like this, and he was never canonized a saint. (Yes, there was a St. Linus, believe it or not! He was the second Pope.)
