How far back in time would I have to go to be the world's greatest doctor armed only with standard OTC medicine from a drugstore?
Why is wine usually sold by the 750ml bottle?
Is the intense aversion to deploying and putting American service members at risk a modern phenomenon? Or, what happened to 'send in the Marines'?
Why does the Torah claim that the Jews were slaves in Egypt if there is no evidence they were?
Why were the Normans so military successful during the 11th and 12th century?
Michelangelo painted God's butt on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Was this part of the plan or did he just manage to sneak it up there without anyone noticing?

why muslims and jews have so much conflicts in the Quran?
The game Road to Empress depicts Wu Zetian's early years at court as being full of scheming, backstabbing, and murder, where any misstep will get you killed. Was the Tang court really that bloody?
Why do cannons feature so rarely in 14th-century art?
Why was Ali Khamenei selected by Ruhollah Khomenei as his successor, given his relatively low clerical rank within Shi'a Islam?
When did town armories in the US transition to generic event spaces? What exactly were they used for previously?
