From Quiz Parrotman Quiz 300

Answer: Thermopylae

"300" tells the Spartan side of the Battle of Thermopylae, in which a small group of Spartans led by King Leonidas held off a vastly larger force of Persian troops for several days in one of the greatest "last stands" in history. The Greek forces were roughly 7000, and were outnumbered by the Persians by at least 10 and possibly as many as 40 to 1 (70,000 to 300,000). Thermopylae took place in 480 and while it was a technically a defeat for the Greeks, it did buy time for the Greeks to defeat the Persians in the naval battle at Salamis. Ultimately, Greece's defeat of the Persian invasion was critical in the shaping of the next 2000 years of civilization. "300" was directed by Frank Miller and based on his graphic novel of the same name. It is done in a highly refined cartoon style and stars Gerard Butler as Leonidas. The film was released in March 2007 and was a huge hit worldwide, grossing over $450 million.

Answer: Arsene Wenger

In August 1996, Arsenal sacked manager Bruce Rioch, who had been in charge for a single season. At the time, Vice-Chairman David Dein had built a working relationship with Arsene Wenger, the former manager of AS Monaco, who was then employed as the manager of Japanese club Nagoya Grampus Eight. Dein had sought to hire Wenger the previous season, but had been rebuffed by the board. Following Rioch's dismissal, they were more receptive to the idea, and Wenger was unveiled as Arsenal's manager on 22 September 1996. During his time at Arsenal, Wenger won the Premier League title three times, including the famous "Invincibles", which saw the team unbeaten in the league during the whole of the 2003-04 season, as well as seven FA Cups. Wenger's 800th Premier League match in charge of Arsenal came on 28 October 2017 with a 2-1 win over Swansea City.

From Quiz Error 404

Answer: Nineteen Eighty-Four

Regarded as one of the classics of dystopian fiction, George Orwell's 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' presents a world in which much of society in the vast Oceania region is governed by a totalitarian, all-seeing organisation known as the Party. Heading the Party is the mysterious Big Brother (hence the famous phrase, "Big Brother is watching you"), and the novel's protagonist, Winston Smith, attempts to rebel against Big Brother, and indeed the Party, in an effort to avenge the disappearance of his family during his childhood. The concept of Room 101 also features in the novel, and is said to be the place where all the worst things in the world are sent. This inspired a radio series in the early 1990s on BBC Radio 5 in which celebrity guests discussed the things they disliked most about the world and had them sent to Room 101, where they would be removed from existence. The radio series made the jump to television in 1994, hosted by Nick Hancock, who also hosted the radio version. Paul Merton took over from Hancock in 1999 until the series ended in 2007. In 2012, the show was resurrected, with a new host, Frank Skinner, and a revised format, in which three guests argued against one another in attempts to get their item/s banished to Room 101.

From Quiz The 800 Quiz

Answer: Christmas Day

Charlemagne, also known as Charles I or Charles the Great, was born in 748, the eldest son of Pepin the Short, King of the Franks. Charlemagne succeeded his father in 768, and subsequently became King of the Lombards in 774. In 799, Pope Leo III came under attack by supporters of his predecessor, Adrian I, and fled to the protection of Charlemagne in the city of Paderborn. In November 800, Charlemagne and the pope returned to Rome, where Charlemagne convened a synod, or council, to discuss the problems that were affecting the church. In an effort to restore his position, during the Christmas mass on 25 December, while Charlemagne knelt at the altar in prayer, Pope Leo crowned him as "Imperator Romanorum" or Emperor of the Romans. This saw the establishment of the Western Roman Empire, which eventually came to be known as the Holy Roman Empire. Charlemagne's reign lasted until his death in 814.
