Louis XVI along with Marie Antoinette?

Marie Antoinette was executed  several months later, I believe.

Yep, just checked. Marie was killed in October 1793.

Louis XVI along with Marie Antoinette?

Your turn, fruit/bird.

[BFM_Kiwi]

Name six U.S. Presidents who were named James.

[BFM_JANE]

James Taylor
James (Jimmy) Carter
James K Polk
James Madison
James Hamilton? I don't think that's one.


A few days ago at work, after the presidential fun day, a younger coworker asked me to name all the presidents in order (my response: "Obama, Washington, Garfield-not-the-cat, some others..."). I couldn't name them all, but got all the easy ones. Hours and several participants later, she had a the full list mostly in order. Some smart person knew all the odd ones no one knows.

Anyway, the point is, after I named a few easy ones, she asked me if Simon F Garfunkel was a president.  "No!" 

The End.

James Garfield
James Monroe
James Madison
James Polk
James Buchanon


JANE,
James Taylor has not been President yet.
Never would have thought about Jimmy Carter as James, he is just such a Jimmy, good one JANE
Jesse James wasn't President either.
Were you thinking of Alexander Hamilton, don't think he was a James, or President for that matter.
I used to have the names of all the Presidents memorized, but they keep adding more to the list so I stopped.

[BFM_Kiwi]

Well you both got three, but sweet baby james I'll have to deduct a few points for Jane's incorrect answers.

So you go Enigma.

By the way, I just read that Martin van Buren, the 8th president, was the first who was born a US citizen.  All previous presidents had been born British subjects before 1776.

[BFM_Enigma]

Ok name at least one New Zealand Prime Minister named James, just kidding although there is only one.

How about since Kiwi mentioned Van Buren as the eigth President, name the first 8 US Presidents in order.

Another hint George Washington was first so only need to come up with the other 6.      big help for you there

[BFM_Fénix]

  Name 8 foreign presidents in order?! 

I used to have the names of all the Presidents memorized, but they keep adding more to the list so I stopped.

Inconsiderate people, adding more presidents to the list...

[jim360]

Two Adams and a Jefferson, and three others.

[BFM_Kiwi]

Washington
John Adams
Jefferson
Monroe
John Quincy
Madison
um...
van Buren

[BFM_Enigma]

Great job Kiwi but you missed one of the most famous ones.

Hint for the Seventh President: The big event under #6 Madison is the War of 1812. With this country's trend of making war heroes President, who was the most famous war leader coming out of the War of 1812. JANE before you answer it was not Dolly Madison.     I bet even Fenix has heard of this former President.

Everyone knows Santa Ana returned as President of Mexico 8 times in the mid 1800's. That would have been too easy Fenix.     

[Ryder93]

Is it Andrew Jackson?

[BFM_Enigma]

Are you allowed to answer these questions with another question?

 but of course it was Andrew Jackson.

Well Three60 sort of answered some, Kiwi nailed most of them, Ryder got the last one, if that was his final answer.

So who gets the next question? idk

[BFM_Fénix]

Yeah... 11 to be more precise...
