do you know youre History???

[woolhead]

yup, I think it is like Danya pretty much said. They just called it the Hundred Year's War for convenience. I could be wrong though...

[goldeneys]

why not call it the 116 years war LOL :D

[Lanthirrhos]

Thnk about it goldy! which one sounds cooler? :lol:

 

(is glad no one really names wars based on the 'coolness' of the name)

 

wars just really aren't that cool!

[Corki]

And which one is easier to say?

 

The Hundred Year War or The Hundred and Sixteen Year War?

[MsDanya]

I go for the first one :lol: hehehehe... so.. *Drinks brew* does anyone have another question?

[Lanthirrhos]

*hopes they don't name wars by easiness to say either!*

[Spacey]

Who was the only United States President not elected to President or Vice-President?

[goldeneys]

ummm would that be George Washington, or was he elected?

[Blade]

it would have to be washington, I don't remember there ever having been a president and vice president both dying in the same reign.

[Lanthirrhos]

*smells something sneaky* :D

[goldeneys]

or was that Bill Clinton, I don't know why anyone would want to elect him. :)

[Spacey]

It was President Gerald Ford. He was the House Minority Leader during Richard Nixon's term as President. When Vice President Spiro T. Agnew resigned, Ford was nominated by Nixon and appointed as the Vice-President by Congress.

 

Ford had been the first Vice President chosen under the terms of the Twenty-fifth Amendment and, in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal, was succeeding the first President ever to resign.

 

When Gerald R. Ford took the oath of office on August 9, 1974, he declared, "I assume the Presidency under extraordinary circumstances.... This is an hour of history that troubles our minds and hurts our hearts."

 

It was indeed an unprecedented time.

 

After rereading my question I apologize for wording it incorrectly...

 

It should have read, "Who was the only United States President not elected to President or Vice-President but served as both?"

[Corki]

A most interesting fact indeed!

[MsDanya]

so, can I come with a question?? I found a good one..

[Spacey]

Yes yes yes yes yes yes...please do Danya sweety.

[MsDanya]

:D wonderful.. ok, a WoT question this time then..

 

Who is first seen in 'The Eye of the World', but doesn't become a regular character until 'The Great Hunt'/'The Dragon Reborn'

[Corki]

For some reason, without looking at my books, I want to say Min...

[woolhead]

Yup Yup...I definitely say Min as well.

[goldeneys]

that sounds right

[Spacey]

I concur!

[MsDanya]

well, that could also be the correct answer, but the woman I was looking for is none other then Elayne Trakand!!! yey!!!

[Spacey]

*snaps fingers*

 

Dang, that would have been my second guess...really!

[goldeneys]

yeah, I guess the same is true of her

[Lanthirrhos]

finally found the BWB! My bro did walk off with it!

 

*looks for good question* :?
