[JaiDee]

Sorry, tomcat, that's wide of the mark.

 

Do I have to give clues for this one?

 

OK, JaiDee thought it was to do with eyes, but it's not something you look with - but it is something you look at.

 

  I was told this one was easier than the [relatively] simple question about Ben Franklin's son......as usual, I guess it all depends on your perspective and which genre of books you read, etc.....  surprised Snick or some other science guy hasn't come up with it yet.

[JaiDee]

In the meantime I will throw out a REALLY obscure one,  but people familiar with the Cambodian civil war may know it;  the real [birth] name of that asshole who later became known as Pol Pot?

 

  Bonus question;  what does the name Stalin mean in Russian?

Dang I saw that name often when in PP but damned if I can recall it. 

[JaiDee]

 

Man of Steel, isn't it? 

 

 Man of steel is the Stalin one....  for Pol Pot I will give you a clue;  his real name was also an example of alliteration.

[SiamSam]

Saloth Sar which translates into Super Cunt.

[JaiDee]

Saloth Sar is correct!

 

Back to the equally-assholish Man of Steel;  which country was he born in?

[SiamSam]

I think it was the Ukraine but but not sure.

[SiamSam]

And how many Ukrainians did Stalin kill? Think upwards of the Jewish Holocaust 

[JaiDee]

Josef was actually born in Georgia, and for that [and many other reasons] Lenin and many of the high-rollers in the Revolution looked on him as an outsider.  Lenin tried to warn people towards the end not to let that guy get anywhere near the Chairman position but by then it was too late, he already had too much power.

 

Ukrainians would have been the bread basket of the old Soviet Union so probably 10 million worked or starved to death would likely be a good guess....same as in Cambodia in the late 70's most of what the Soviets planted was later sold as an export while the locals starved. But compared to that asshole and his neighbor Mao, Pol Pot and Hitler were amateurs.

[Tomcat]

 

sorry i replied Georgia but i didnt see u gave the answer as i posted

[SiamSam]

They estimated anywhere between 8 to 12 million Ukrainians were starved to death deliberately by Stalin. Quite a prick indeed. 

[pacman]

Stalin was a short man with a withered arm & small pox ravaged face who was a complete psychopath. Churchill knew he was trouble but Franklin Roosevelt thought he was fine & would present no threat. He refused to consider Churchill's request to take out Stalin, he just wanted the war to be over. Three weeks after the meeting at Yalta, FDR was dead. He should never have been there negotiating when he was a dying man, he sided with Stalin against Churchill giving rise to the Cold War which made the world unstable for the next 40 years.

 

Another weak President has met his match against a strong Russian leader with Obama's weakness giving Putin the green light to start throwing his weight around. Another Cold War has started with the potential to end badly.

 

Anyway, here's my question - what type of movies did Stalin like to watch? And the answer is ironic.
