    With that prominent clipper-shaped bow I would agree it is likely the Bismarck.

    Which was the only ship that a nuclear submarine has ever sunk? In which war, by which submarine, in what year, and against what nation?

    Bloody hell this is extreme, where do you all find out this stuff? I thought i was good for knowing that Manchukuo existed, i didnt know the flag!

    The ship was the General Belgrano, sunk by a British Nuclear Sub in The Falklands War, 1982. The ship of course, was Argentinian. The submarine was the HMS conquerer.

    I cheated a bit, a friend helped me...

    That's the KKK, obviously, and I don't know which exact march that was but they did a lot of marching in Washington in the 20's. No idea about the extra credit Q's. I never cared to know that much about that organization, heh.

    Height was the first twenty years of the 20th century ... I'd guess 1917. Total membership? Meh ... 90,000.

    EDIT: Changed a guess.

    What did the finns mix in to there bread to prevent starvation in the mid to late 19 centurie?

    The resident monkey might know it. it's some thing the finn have in abundant, it helped them survive years of bad harvests althou the price was kidney damage.

    Kunax,

    Lichen? Complete guess. That's what reindeer like to eat, isn't it? In abundance in Finland? I suppose I'm mixing Laplanders with regular Finns though, aren't I?

    Surely it's not salt peter. . .

    Heh, I thought you were hinting that we were getting close, so I just guessed.

    I wonder if they first let the mosquitos gorge themselves on reindeer blood before they were made into a sandwich?

    The bark isn't necessarily that unusual. Several supplemental foods come from bark, ain't it? Can't really think of many off hand. . . Cinnamon is a bark, isn't it? I think there's others, as well. Chewing gum was originally pine resin. Probably not much different than pine bark. I imagine chewing on pine bark for a bit would squeeze out a lot of resin.
