Default Is that your final answer?

Who's in the mood for some online Trivial Pursuit?

The game works like this: A general knowledge question is posted. The member that correctly answers the question, posts the next question. And so it continues...

There are some rules tho:
  • Only general knowledge questions are allowed. Your sisters bra size is NOT general knowledge. ;D
  • Only board members are allowed to post questions. If you are a guest, and you know the answer to a question, you'll have to register as a member to post the next question.
  • If no-one can answer your question within 24 hrs, post the answer, and then post another question
  • If there is a dispute over an answer, sort it out before posting the next question
  • Try and keep the game flowing as much as possible.
  • Have fun!

I'll kick the game off.

Assassination is a term thought to be derived from "Hashish", a drug similar to marijuana, said to have been used by Hasan-Dan-Sabah to induce motivation in his followers, who were assigned to carry out political and other murders, usually at the c ost of their lives. It is here used to describe the planned killing of a person who is not under the legal jurisdiction of the killer, who is not physically in the hands of the killer, who has been selected by a resistance organization for death, and who has been selected by a resistance organization for death, and whose death provides positive advantages to that organization.  ;D

Whoa! redhendren, you're answer describes the origin of the word, not who invented it and started using it for the first time. That was William Shakespeare. ;D

Let's continue then... Altwegg is right, isn't he?
