Question three was tricky since I love electric light, but I hate poetry.

BTW, I'm Ludwig II, the Swan King of Bavaria. Makes total sense too.
And he apparently wasn't a good swimmer either.

I'm Charles VI, Mad King of France. That guy was pretty nuts.

Wasn't Ludwig II the dude that built that crazy Bavarian castle?

I was kind of hoping to get Lady Godiva because she is actually in my family tree, but I didn't

Which Historical Lunatic Are You?

My favorite line is: "Passing briefly into erratic genius, you believed yourself to be made of glass and demanded iron rods in your attire to prevent you breaking. "

This test is balls. Of course I don't want to destroy a cocking planet. During my last days was I surrounded by fruit? Come on, people.

The Prestige. A fine rivalry piece, even if the sci-fi conceit of the book is far more interesting as comtemplation. Here, it feels like Gothic horror enough, so it works fine.

And he's amazing in it. He's smooth like tempered ambers and his entrancedrips with expert style. And his lines were prescient and genuinely clever.

You better catch it if you can. I mean, it's got Christian Bale in it.
