Yup LameNick got it. Irish and German.

You and Tycho can decide between you who puts the next question up!
 

LameNick

How much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?

Tycho Magnetic Anomaly

Um, you know, I honestly cant think of anything good right now,  how about you have a go? or somebody else perhaps

TheFrighter


Well, if you don't mind...

Who was the first President of the Italian Republic in history?

(is more simple that you think)

This will probably look like rumblings of an incoherent ignorant, which it is, but Garibaldi?

Hi, I'm also an incoherent ignoramus, but is it possibly Verdi? I learned ages ago he rose to lead the nation on some wave of patriotic fervour, but no idea if he was the 'first' of the Italian Republic.

TheFrighter


Ha Ha! No my friend, but his music is the unofficial soundtrack of the nation. Cool idea, though.

Well I did say I was an ignoramus! (laugh)


TheFrighter


You have a bad idea of Italia, Jack!  :-D

Not.

I'm just guessing based on this:

I know there was talk about the bureaucratic unification of Italy some time ago, but as far as I know this hasn't happened, hence my first guess.

TheFrighter


Hm, seem no one is guessing. So let's cut it here.

The very first President of Italian Republic was...

Napoléon Bonaparte!



That's why I said that is easy, is one of the most famous man of history!

After the victory of Italian campaigns of 1796-1797 Bonaparte claimed lands from Austrian Empire and then unified in Cisalpine Republic (4 years later renamed as Italian Republic). He nomineed the Direttorio (board of directors) and the ministers, acting pratically as Presidentof the Republic.

Two part question: What monarch confederated Canada? What monarch oversaw Canada taking charge of its own constitution?

milkanannan

Hint/giveaway: the first event happened in 1867. The second in 1982. ;)
