Missed Corrections

“I was just listening to episode 45 "Bodice Rippers", and when you all were trying to suss out the question about Henry VIII's wives, I kept screaming "divorced, beheaded, she died; divorced, beheaded, survived!", which is a rather macabre way to remember how many wives he had, and what became of them. TECHNICALLY the two "divorces" were actually annulments, but same difference to us heathens. – Joee, MN

Round Two

Rate My Question

“In 1911, using skis and sled dogs, Roald Amundsen and his crew were the first to reach the South Pole. Just over a decade later in 1926 he would lead the first verified expedition to the North Pole.
