As far as these questions being easy or difficult to answer; knowledge is relative. Example: My "Ex" could tell you the name of every "soap opera" star, their city of residence, date of birth, etc., but didn't know who won the Civil War, or even the Revolutionary War. I am not kidding. True story.

sillybee, The myth that Harold was shot in the eye comes from the Bayeux Tapestry. Firstly there is a man holding an arrow near the word " Harold": however a detailed study shows the arrow is partly unravelled and the stitch holes carry on past his head. The dismembered body at his feet is more probably Harold.
