Lol!

Clooney... Gizzus a clue!

Pwetty pwease

A clue? Emmm...

Udall

For the love of all man-kind clooney... How did you discover this...












Even accidentally!

You could go on a painstaking page-by-page search of Wikipedia and get succesful that way... That's how I found it, by chancing upon a particular page and noticing that two popes shared a date of death.

Has it got anything to do with shakespeare?




(Wow! You must've been bored to do that... )

Shakespeare? Emm... no...? Why do you ask?

The first result on google mentions Shakespeare when Udall and Pope are in the same search

Ah, ok... Then I need to give another clue.

Republic of Taiwan

We're they back to back? Or from two totally different times?

The popes? That would be telling! But they were not at the same time, obviously.

It would have been possible for them to die at the same time, would it not?

They would not necessarily have to be the Pope when they died.

You misunderstood me i think. what i mean is.... after the pope died, did his successor die on the same day of a following year?

Basically, yes. One pope died, and then one of his successors died on that same date in a different year.

Each was Pope when he died.

Basically, to rephrase the question: there was a Pope, and he died on such-a-date. Then there was another Pope, and he died on the same such-a-date. Name the popes.

If you can find the date (or a date), it's pretty straightforward to find the popes.

I GOT IT, I GOT IT!!!!!

May 25th, 615 - Pope Boniface IV
May 25th, 1085 - Pope Gregory VII
May 25th, 1261 - Pope Alexander IV

Wow!

I'm taking the assumption I am right as clooney is currently offline, and I have to go to bed!


Try this one then:

- In a 2002 survey, 40% of the people living in Barbados, thought they would be burgled in the next year.
- Which country had the highest burglary expectancy? And with which percentage?


Keep you tired over till tomorrow

Udall was Udall, Kansas, ravaged by a tornado on May 25, 1955.

Republic of Taiwan: formed on May 25, 1895.

The one that would have sealed it, I think (cos I was experimenting with Google) was... Tenga. On May 25, 2002, carriages of a train containing 600 people were uncoupled, and they rolled down a hill and crashed into "stationary rail wagons loaded with cement from the train which were coupled to the locomotive". 192 dies and 167 were injured.

Other things: The HMS Coventry was sunk in 1982, and Celtic won the European Cup in 1967.

Found it completely by accident when I changed upon the May 25 page on Wikipedia. There were only two papal deaths. Since then, someone has added Pope Boniface IV, for a total of not two but three popes who share a date of death.

In all likelihood there are other dates on which more than one pope has died; there have been 265 popes in all, apparently.
