icepenguin13 Dec 06, 2004	I thought of this instantly because useless facts are my forte and have a 3"folder filled with useless facts and i have 4 different ways that is noted, one of which is Spades-King David Hearts-Charlemagne Clubs-Alexander The Great Diamonds-Julius Caesar so there is no garentee that all these kings are correct in my or you case but still a kick ()() teaser
mcgrawactor1 Dec 06, 2004	I had a vague notion of this answer and I surprised myself. I th ink it's a fun one.
Atropus Dec 06, 2004	Whereas I thought of the answer to this one immediately because of the name of the teaser... Maybe someone ought to look into fixing that?
AXTON Dec 07, 2004	This is allmost a direct copy of one of my teasers which was rejected last week...
mosoh Dec 07, 2004	AXTON. this was accepted last week, I must have beaten you by a hair.
I_am_the_Omega Dec 08, 2004	Well, it's good to know it's not true (I knew neither about the myth or the fact), but the point is that if people at least know about it, it works as a teaser... for example, Washington sure as heck never cut down a cherry tree, but it could still be used in a teaser such as this one. Though, Julius Caesar wasn't a king. It could be argued that he had the same position, but really, I wouldn't, because we're talking Rome... not England or France. And really, would you equate a Sultan or a Rajah, or Czar to a king? Well anyways.. i wouldn't lol
Mad-Ade Dec 09, 2004	Gizzer, the answer does state "According to common legend" thus showing it is not necessarily true, but just commonly believed.
Gizzer Dec 09, 2004	Yes, it does, Mad. What's your point? I'm not criticizing the teaser, just pointing out the "common legend" is false.
Mad-Ade Dec 09, 2004	And I was just pointing out that the teaser did not claim to be true either, so what is your point?
Rowsdower Dec 17, 2004	A game of euchre, anyone?
i_am_sam007 Jan 23, 2005	It was very obvious by the topic. \"Hit the Deck\" It doesn\'t really go along with the question, it helps oput with the answer WAY too much. You should\'ve changed it to work with the question instead of give it away. But it was good. I liked it.
IMCUL4E Jan 24, 2005	hee hee hee...i thought of \"royal flush\"... ..I\'m still waking up...
magnum58 Jan 24, 2005	Very clever teaser.Even with the hint I was lost.
Tiggr Jan 24, 2005	I had it figured correctly, except I had some dressed in the wrong suit.
Youngsex17 Jan 24, 2005	I am not amused......
Youngsex17 Jan 24, 2005	I am not amused......
coastcomfort Jan 24, 2005	I thought they were all together in the common form of a corpse.
unicorn0358 Jan 24, 2005	I thought it was cute and can always use totally useless knowledge When I play poker tomorrow I\'ll be asking for a David , Julis etc.
blah44 Jan 24, 2005	pretty neato
speedyrunner8 Jan 24, 2005	yea, its not so great. no offence. i got it pretty easy (strike 1) i also thought it was that they\'ve all been included in movies (strike 2). the card thing isnt necessarly true (strike 3) normally its three strikes your out, but i also wanted to add i\'ve heard different answers to this SAME problem, and to the whole deck of cards thing. sorry, but try a different one next time.
fuzzie277 Jan 24, 2005	Only got it after I saw the hint. Never heard that legend before.
JeniusKC Jan 24, 2005	the teaser was fun but the name gave it away!
(user deleted) Jan 24, 2005	I said \"all are in Shakespeares plays\" but.........I was wrong.....hahah
waker Jan 24, 2005	they are all dead also
sweetpeao4o3 Jan 25, 2005	i didnt get it even with the hint and the title
O_wise_one Jan 25, 2005	Alright, but does anyone know why the K of hearts is killing himself? (Or at least scratching his head with his sword?) Cuz I've always wondered that....
Kissmekate Jan 25, 2005	that was stuoid, bad, and ovious loser...gosh
blinkshadow182 Jan 27, 2005	easy
tsd3 Jan 28, 2005	That was fun, I switched some, but I liked it.
moonieboonie Feb 07, 2005	Why do people get so cruel and insulting if they didn't like a teaser? I thought it was interesting, and would never have got it if it weren't for the title. If it makes you think and keeps you interested enough to find out the answer, I say it's a good teaser. Stop being so harsh and critical! This is just for FUN! Lighten up! Enjoy!
sftbaltwty Feb 12, 2005	that's very interesting..i didn't know that...thanks for the information and the great teaser
dumbkid Feb 15, 2005	wuzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzuuuuuuuuuuuuuupppppppppppppppppppp
krabcat Feb 16, 2005	i herd that somwhair
(user deleted) Mar 06, 2005	pitiful.
Pop_Qla Mar 13, 2005	I didn't get it wil the hint or the title! I loved it, Mosoh!
marine_animals Mar 19, 2005	Julius Caeser wasn't a king so the teaser doesn't count.
froggygg Mar 31, 2005	Even with the hint and the title, my brain just didn't want to cooperate with me! Good job.
lilmamie69 Apr 03, 2005	This was too easy.
phildunphy Apr 05, 2005	Very nice, liked this a lot
kcelf27 Apr 24, 2005	Why does everyone have to be so stinkin critical??? Lots of people have a common belief about lots of things...it's a free world (mostly). Like Thumper says "...if ya can't say somethin' nice, don't say nothin' at all."
onlyeeyore Jun 08, 2005	Got it through clues, but did not know that. Thanks for the link as well, gizzer. Very interesting!
Kalliann Aug 12, 2005	I enjoyed thiso n Mosoh! Keep them coming!
smarty_blondy Sep 30, 2005	Good job, i like it although somehow i had no idea. Keep up the good job!
