Antoine Lavoisier.

Hahaha. I would totally feel smart, but my roommate is the one that came up with it.

Exactly - that is what the judge told him before sentencing him to the guillotine.
Your turn, Sevens. Great.

How about your room-mate ?

Let's throw it open for anyone to have ago with a question. We can come back to it later if necessary.


OK, edit here. We can carry on.


"Mr Pierrepoint, I have always wanted to meet you. But not, of course, under these circumstances".


Who was this?

Nice one, Mr KK. He was upper-class, the son of one of Churchill's ministers, the brother of Julian Amery, who also was a prominent politician, and a great traitor, broadcasting propaganda for the Nazis, just like Lord Haw-Haw. He also volunteered to raise a unit German fighting force from amongst British POW's ; he tried, it never happened. He was very anti-semitic.

Eventually he was sentenced to hang, and that was how he greeted executioner Albert Pierrepoint, who said, as it happens, that when it came to noose, Amery was the bravest victim he ever came across.
Ironically,he was also of Jewish descent.

Over to you.

Cheers, try this one

I heard great lamentation, a hermit weeping there bewailing to his God the grief he felt: ‘Oh no, the Pope is just a child. Lord, help your Christendom.’

Wow. Sounds almost biblical, but later. I'm into the picture it conjures up - a voice in the wilderness. But can I recognise it?
