Wit's End

My sister's home from school, and we celebrated this evening by playing a family game of Wit's End. Tidbits that came up that I learned something about: Ray Orbison hit Only the Lonely, poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning, the Atlanta Braves won the World Series only once between 1970 and 1999, Descartes once said "Travelling is almost like talking with men of other centuries". Wilson was elected president in 1913, Mussolini came to power in 1922, and Lenin died in 1924. Max Bruch was German, not Austrian. short:hour::long:? (do you know? I didn't.) The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse represent Conquest, Famine, Death, and War. The lemon tree is evergreen.

A random game, quite a bit of luck, and some of the questions are too hard / obscure to be fun. Still, we had a great time.
