Which Historical Lunatic Are You?
From the fecund loins of Rum and Monkey.
"A fine, amiable and dreamy young man, skilled in horsemanship and archery, you were also from a long line of dribbling madmen. King at 12 and quickly married to your sweetheart, Bavarian Princess Isabeau, you enjoyed many happy months together before either of you could speak anything of the other's language. However, after illness you became a tad unstable."
And so on. I'm too embarrassed to post the rest.

Links for language teachers
I have noticed that I get a lot of hits from people searching "present simple" and "ESL," and assume that this is language teachers looking for ideas or lesson plans. The following links are good places to start.
ESL Lounge Here you will find lesson plans organised by level. A fantastically useful site for busy teachers, and easy to navigate.
British Council Here lesson plans are organized by topic. There are more teaching activities in the 'downloads' section.
The Internet TESL Journal
They have not updated this page for a while, but there is still a lot you might find useful.
Humanising Language Teaching
This is an online journal, good for ideas, inspiration, and especially good towards the end of semester when you're feeling not quite human.
Dave's ESL Cafe
Almost too much to wade through, but a very useful resource. Lots of links to other sources.
Karin's ESL PartyLand
This is a page specifically dealing with teaching simple present and present progressive. I have not tried any of these, but there are a lot of ideas here, and they look good. At the very least you will be inspired.
Good luck!

HA! So am I.
I don't know how many lunatic rulers they've got - but I found I was Charles VI too.
Never like him - wouldn't mind being Charles V, who was good looking and reasonable (the bad gene coming in with the V's spouse, and passing on also via her daughter, to Henry VI of England - mad as a holy louse he was).
Perhaps I did it by confessing to having murdered a whole village...
I had to test the "no more than one" lunatic ruler hypothesis. Entering the complimentary set of answers I used when obtaining Charles VI, I found that:
You are Joshua Abraham Norton, first and only Emperor of the United States of America!
Born in England sometime in the second decade of the nineteenth century, you carved a notable business career, in South Africa and later San Francisco, until an entry into the rice market wiped out your fortune in 1854. After this, you became quite different.
Hey Badaunt - got your comment at my old blog, ta muchly! Curses to Beta Blogger's commenting LIES, but hopefully things will sort themselves out soon. Think of all the fun you can have recreating all your custom bits n pieces when you convert... Such a FUN way to spend your evenings... *cough*
Oooh! So many SHINY things at the quiz site, thank you!
