One tells of the destruction of a huge cannon during the English Civil
War;
Another catalogues Mary Tudor's torture and execution of Protestants;
Yet another is concerned with Cardinal Wolsey's failure to secure a
Henry VIII's divorce from Catherine of Aragon;
A fourth is about the licentiousness of a seventeenth-century Duke of
Buckingham.
Under what pseudonyms were Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette executed?

You take a cube. You draw two red lines on it, as in the diagram. What
is the angle between the lines? Don't be fooled by the diagram, the actual
angle on the solid cube will be different ... or will it?

Barry and Larry are identical twin brothers.
Sindy and Lindy are identical twins sisters. Barry met Sindy at Larry
and Lindy's wedding, not surprisingly they found they had a lot in common.
Sindy and Lindy both fell pregnant at the same time (which was OK for
Larry but it put Barry in an awkward spot, but I digress). Barry and Sindy
had a baby, Harry, and Larry and Lindy had a baby, Gary, on the same day.
Naturally Gary and Harry are related. Just how closely related should
we expect Gary and Harry to be, genetically?
Compare their relatedness relative to "normal" relationships.

In my trusty old dictionary between a part
of speech and a big fiddler I find word for word; appearance of truth;
very thin food; the native tongue; something between a kilometre
and a mile; the highest point on a figure; a woman dedicated to the hearth;
a right to reject; food-purveyor; a Roman farmhouse; a serf and a regular
fiddle.
I spotted a few colours on these pages, did you?
