Fuckbooks was what we called the photo book that the law school put out each year with the first year students.

We called our Freshman picture book the same thing.

That's what I went with, but then I thought about time period and realized I was to hasty in my answer. I still don't think my mind would have gone there, as I was hung up on threats close to home.

Answer
Thursday Oct. 9, 2014

Category: Historical Figures

Clue: A 2012 poll by Britain's National Army Museum voted this man, born in 1732, as the nation's greatest military enemy

Answer: Who was George Washington?

(This was just stupid; I knew the birthdate was way too early for Napoleon, but I could think of no one else, so I went with the same wrong answer that all three tv contestents missed with. As stated above, the failure to win a battle w/o French assistance, plus the fact that the war was conducted an ocean away and posed zero threat to the home islands make this a stupid fucking answer, but whaddaya gonna do?)
