Monsters VS Saints
******************************************************
It's Halloween
time, with ghosts, pumpkins and monsters.
Well, when we say monsters,
we usually first think of scary looking fantasy creatures,
that move
in a funny way and mumble while doing it.
But monsters do exist. They
look normal, even quite handsome, move and speak normally among us.
What makes them monsters are their deeds.
Fortunately, where
there is dark, there is light & November 1st is All Saint's Day, dedicated to unknown saints.
There are many, many people that have made this world a better place with their deeds.;
Some people (literally) saved the world or at least millions of lives, with one quick decision or purely by accident.
Sometimes, the
decision was wrong, but the world was saved by how they reacted
afterwords…
So here is a little
contest for you.
The picture below shows 6 “monsters”
(people with terrible deeds) &
6 unusual “saints” (people who
saved world or lot of lives in a strange way).
Here is a list of statements that describe those people:
Saints
1. His famous last words were: "I did everything correctly. I don't understand why it happened." Maybe he did not react correctly when the havoc started, but things would be much, much worse if he hadn’t sacrificed his life and stayed behind to clean the mess.2. "Alarm, what alarm? Oh THAT alarm. Just ignore it, it must be broken."
3. "And when I die I will keep on living." Well, for this lady it was not just words. A part of her LITERALLY kept on living. And saved many lives.
4. He was raised on farm but sent to study buy his grandfather with the advice: "You're wiser to fill your head now if you want to fill your belly later on." That was massive understatement!
5. He shares his name with an American football player and is known under the nickname "The man with the golden arm".
6. An apple fell on Newton, Archimedes was taking a bath, but this guy just did not have time to clean his lab before he went on vacation. And he did not shout "Eureka!!". He just said: "That’s funny".
Monsters
7. Forget about the Lord Vlad Dracula. She was the real Lady Dracula!!8. He shares his surname with a famous detective. He also had a helper that looked a bit like Watson. But he lived on other side of a law. His hotel was not named California, but "you can check out any time you want, but you can never leave..." describes it well.
9. She was beautiful. She married three times and all her husbands were a "good catch" (two were rich, one was a doctor). She was also known to be a sweet and kind lady. But after the fire broke in her mansion, the world found out that she was a real monster...
10. He was sweet and charming. But woman, mostly young and beautiful, just kept disappearing around him. Because of his charm it took a long long time before it was realized that he was a serial killer.
11. He came from a rich and decent family, was good at school, loved by his classmates and got two PhD (medicine and anthropology). He was called "white angel". Wrong category? No, unfortunately not. He was also called "Angel of Death" and his cruelty shocked the world.
12. "Oh its so dark in here. I better light some candles, so that I can play the lyre. No candles? Well, then those people will do or better yet, a whole city?"
Each statement describes one person.
When you have figured out which name and statement match each picture,
SEND YOUR ENTRY TO ME IN A PM
with the name of the person,
the letter of their picture, and
the number of the statement that describes them.
For example,
If you think that Lady on picture I is Tessa Truesdale and that she is best described with the statements #4,
write: I-4: Tessa Truesdale
Each letter and each number can be used only once.
If you repeat any, only the 1st time you used a letter or number will count.
Only one entry per player is allowed (or, again, only the first one will count).
PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS ON THIS THREAD
You will get 3 points for each correct triple (name, picture and a statement)
and 2 points if you only guessed two out of three
(e.g. correct name and the picture, but wrong or missing statement).
Nice prizes are awaiting the winners and all that participate will get the 2019 Halloween badge.
The contest will end on Monday, 4th. November, at noon CET
Good luck and remember: Google is your best friend!

Update, I am going to pass on this contest, I just do not have the time for it, but I wish everyone else good luck,
The third competition is: Forum Contest - Big Farm's 7th Birthday!
The prize will be credited later this week.
Tricky or treats to @WiseWing owl
Send PM with answers, now just cross my "witchy" fingers and toes and cook-up a winning potion in my big pot !!

update> I turned in My answers I hope you got them cause I had trouble posting it for some strange reason, again good luck to everyone.:)
But we rarely care to stare mesmerized at pics of genocidal maniacs and serial killers. Neither their feats are followed widely with admiration. Moreover they often show similar modus operandi. (For instance, arsenic was found to be most popular pick for female serial killers. May be they attain confidence, perfection and expertise first by killing hundreds of rats.)
So identifying the monsters was really challenging. Google helped there a lot. Hats off to Google.
But overall I enjoyed the contest (far better than blindly predicting numbers of innumerable this or that).
Thank you WiseWing.
Oh well it was fun anyway.
Happy Halloween to all.

Congratulations to all!!
And Congratulation for all the Winner too
It was a nice one
Congratulations to all the winners.
Now I make a little request: maybe you could rather give less gold to all the correct entries than give just a few correct entries bigger amount of gold. That would be nicer I think...
The random pick is invisible to us, so maybe you could consider my suggestion. I can remember many correct entries and "random" picks and no rewards..
I am very happy.
