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!*
I don't think so. They did take the Tirpitz down with bombers.

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


Nope, it's something pretty specific.

Snakes on a mustang plane?

Here's another one. I'm sure you'll find it before I found your puzzle. =)

LeoLeonardo: That is totally correct. Even the Redskins player part. *cough*

Well he has #33 next to him. I just figured ...

Battle of Thermophylea. I've seen 300. :p
Is the picture about the Shelby GT500 Super Snake Mustang by any chance? It won't explain the leprenauch ( or however it's spelled ), though.

Newton getting beaned by an apple and thinking up his theories of physics?

I always assumed that was a myth. But now that we've found his crystal skull, I don't know what to think!

(GJ on the battle of thermopylae or however its spelled)

I don't know if the Newton-apple thing is real or not. I just added it because it's recognisable.
By the way, the number 33 is actually the amount of casualties.
EDIT: Oops, their were 35 casualties. My bad.

Lepre-eunuch, I assume.

Leper Eunuch?

Probably. Hint: to get to the historical event, you'll have to filter it through what it literally shows. I don't know how many people know this one though ...

Awesome, 33 casualties. Probably killed more people than combat dirigibles ever did.

Is it the second baron's war?
I don't know what figure can be compared with Moses though.

The battle of Hastings, I presume?
The Bayeux Tapestry gave it away.

Asheron got it

well I had to put something else in, because France and England have been fighting since before they called themselves France and England.

it is not second barons war, if you managed to guess picture 2+3 then picture one should become fairly obvious who it is.

True. Actually, France and Germany also have been fighting since they were both called France and Germany to. And France and Flanders.
Do I see a trend emerging?
