thatguyyaknow: Sure.
LeoLeonardoIII: Haha. A wheel of cheese. Anyway, the Titanic bit is correct.
LeoLeonardoIII EDIT: Indeed. You could try to randomly type in words and see what pictures you get, but in most cases that wouldn't help you very far.

Indeed it is. Another point!  :)
I am busy creating another bunch. Nearly there...




The second picture is important. I'm looking for a certain name.



The Manhattan Project, Hiroshima and the end of World War II

The second is the building of the Great Pyramids. Probably the tomb of Tutankhamon, judging by the picture.

Do I get extra points for pointing out that Tutankhamon wasn't in fact buried in a pyramid? But I think the face of Tutankhamon here is intended to display a general egyptianism or faraonism. So my final guess is The building of The Great Pyramid of Giza.

Hiroshima/Nagasaki is correct, so is the Tutankhamon picture.
The first and second one are seperate btw. I'm a tad confused since you skipped it. It's the name of an operation.

Nope. A little hint, it's an emperor that participated in one of the crusades.
EDIT: It should be emperor, not king.

Correct.
The second is about catholic english not being exactly happy with the protestant government. I'm not going to say what the black stuff is, since it's half of the "event's" name. Hint hint.
EDIT: You beated me to it, LeoLeonardoIII. :)

Yet another indeed.
I have the feeling the entire history of humanity will be recorded in this thread. :)
I'm still making more, so don't worry, point hunters! ^^

That'll be the sinking of the Bismarck?

Didn't they use planes to take it down? I thought they did. *wikipedia to the rescue!*

The second is the Hindenberg crashing into Redskins player Sammy Baugh

Uh? I think it's something about Irishmen going to America... ^^

LeoLeonardo: That is totally correct. Even the Redskins player part. *cough*
That causes LeoLeonardoIII to go at the lead with seven points!
*applause*
I'm still thinking about your picture, though. :/
