Idi Amin led a coup that overthrew Milton Obote in 1971, and he then ruled as President of Uganda until 1979. His reign is riddled with a litany of human rights issues and economic mismanagement. His attempt to annex the Tanzanian province of Kagera in 1978 resulted in the start of the Ugandan-Tanzanian War, which ultimately led to his demise. Amin fled to Libya and he passed away in 2003. Idi's father, Andreas Nyabire, converted to Islam in 1910.

In the process he changed his name to Amin Dada which was passed onto his first born son Idi. Sourav Ganguly played over 100 Test matches for India, scoring in excess of 7,000 runs.

Answer: History of the World, Part One

The film was a parody that centred on four ages of history: the dawn of man, the Roman Empire, the Spanish Inquisition and the French Revolution. Brooks certainly enjoyed being the focus in this movie as he held down five roles in the film. Along with the role of Torquemada (you "can't Torquemada anything" i.e. talk him outta anything) he also portrayed Moses, Comicus (a stand-up philosopher), King Louis XVI and Jacques.

Tomas de Torquemada was notorious for his role in the Spanish Inquisition and has provided inspiration for a large number of creators that include Victor Hugo, who wrote a poem about him in 1865. He is a villain in the British comic "2000 A.D." and is also a member of the Green Lantern Corps in the DC Comics universe.

Answer: Lambada

The lambada is performed with arched legs. The movements are generally side to side with exaggerated hip movement. In more recent times it has been seen as a form of 'dirty' dancing. This may be because of the prevalence of short skirts that were the fashion at the time, the suggestive lyrics that were incorporated within lambada associated songs and the provocative moves that were evidenced in the movie "Lambada" (1990). Kaoma's song, entitled "Lambada", appeared on their debut album "WorldBeat" and went on to sell in excess of five million copies.

The song has been translated into numerous languages, including Hebrew.

Answer: Flash

David Hersch murders his wife in the midst of a thunderstorm. He comes to regret his actions and seeks to end his own life. Before he does he is struck by lightning. Instead of destroying him, it gives him the power to transfer the life force of others to himself, giving him immortality. Adopting the name Cicada, he now feels that he's been chosen so that he could bring his wife back to life. What Cicada cannot come to grips with is that in transferring the life force from another human, means that that individual must die.

This continues to eat at his conscience until he discovers the Flash (alter ego Wally West) whom, with a lightning bolt across his chest and super speed, Cicada comes to see as a brother touched by the same power. Cicada witnesses the Flash save people who would have certainly been killed if the Scarlet Speedster had not intervened and, within his twisted logic, he sees this as the ideal justification to finish the job that fate had started. Before you send me little notes, Wally West was struck by a blast of anti-matter and not lightning but the description above is how the Flash is seen in the Cicada's eyes.
