Every man worked hard at his own barricade,
And rifles rang out from the Dublin Brigade.”
2. According to Spinoza’s Theological-Political Treatise, what is the true aim of government?
3. In Mahmoud Darwish’s poem ‘Those Who Pass Between Fleeting Words,’ what is the “bleeding homeland of a bleeding people” fit for?

I know the answers, but I won’t encourage cheating, so I’ll answer cryptically:
1) Chocolate eggs on a harness
2) The man who shot which valence did you say?
3) The subtitle of the game The Elder Scrolls IV, and, er, well I’ve forgotten the other bit

Finally! I knew if I hung around on this site long enough the Elder Scrolls games would come up eventually.
Aren’t Verso the publishing arm of the Swuppies?
