Some of these look really easy, while others are completely trivial, lol. Anyway, even though it would be unfair if one happens to be online at a complete different time from you, Paarfam, and thus get, like, only one or two questions a day, while someone else who happens to be available at the same time as you can easily answer 10+ questions in an hour, I'll go ahead and go with an easy one from the History section: Who said, "Vini, vidi, vici"? Actually, nobody. Julius Caesar said "Veni, vidi, vici." .
