How much did the Chinese Summer Palace cost to build? When you effectively run a government that doesn't operate under Rule of Law, can redirecting its funds really be considered "embezzlement"? |

Is there a confirmed historic record of using “non-standard” live animals for military purposes? @DVK - Yeah, you gotta figure the Israeli Army llama dentist has trouble picking up chicks. |

Are submarine launched ballistic missiles still inaccurate? +1 for a great answer, although I'm tempted to dock you a bit for using metric units in a discussion of USA equipment. :-) |

Why were balls used on the Medici coat of arms? @YannisRizos - Did doctors give out pills that far back? I'd have figured they ground their own herbs. That sounds like it could be an anachronism. |

What did the Phoenician sailor trader eat? Just as a point of fact, according to wikipedia this is an oar-powered Assyrian warship, not a sail-driven Phonecian trading vessel. It could have had sails too, but we can't tell that from this fragment. |

Which is closer to Old Dutch? @LouisRhys is right. This is a linguistics question, not a history question. |

Eastern and Southern Europe in the medieval time period? @Anixx - This is technically true. During the Middle ages the Byzantines never stopped referring to their empire as "Roman", whereas westerners tended to just call them "Greeks". I'm not sure what name was used for them in the east, but it was probably another name altogether. I'll rephrase a bit. |

Eastern and Southern Europe in the medieval time period? Frankly, the area and the time period combine to make this just way too big a question. I'd suggest making it more explicitly just about the area around modern Romania. Trust me, there's plenty of history there. |
