Ask people where the Battle of Bunker Hill took place and I guarantee most will get it wrong.

OK, wise guy: Who's buried in Grant's Tomb?

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

Dude, it was in Massachusetts.

Oh, you wanted me to be a little more specific?

“Ask people where the Battle of Bunker Hill took place and I guarantee most will get it wrong.”

Breeds Hill (Charlestown, MA) - the British maps were labeled incorrectly. Plus I believe Bunker Hill originally was where the Brits thought the overnight fortifications before the battle were built.

Any cash prize? (BTW - I didn’t cheat - it’s just a fact I know. The saying is that the end result was unique in as far as a misnamed battle technically lost at the end of the day would be labeled a win and have a huge monument. Truth is the superior weaponry/training of the Royal Troops - we were all Brits then - only won because the rag tag team of patriots ran out of bullets.)
