Re: History Challenge
OK I'll give it a shot, not a real tough one for you whizs
I was one of seven. Our plan succeeded and ultimately, through a chain of events, affected the world with a huge tragic event.
I made a few mistakes as to my part, my original attempt failed, I was late
After, when I knew the cops were after me (yes a criminal action) I tried to kill my self, but only succeeded in getting wet, and sick
Which of 7 am I??

Re: History Challenge
And there's me thinking it was either "Sneezy" or "Dopey"....
In all seriousness, after looking things up it's quite an interesting story/part of history.

He threw the first grenade and missed. He then took a cyanide pill and threw himself into the river. Unfortunately for him, the pill was way past its sell by date and the river was only 4 inches deep...
This is the way
