    On this day in history -- November 7th -- several events occurred whose names don't quite seem to match up with what these events represent.
    Accordingly, we ask you to tell us if the name given by the "experts" for each these events is actually the correct name, or did they goof it up along the way.     So, how much do you know about... A Name... er, by Any Other Name?
    Please give us your best answers for each of the following 3 TRUE or FALSE questions, by using the (reuseable) answers of "A"=TRUE or "B"=FALSE.   

       ++ "Mixed Bag of 3 Trivia Questions -- #28: A Name... er, by Any Other Name" ++
Question #1: On November 7, 305 BCE, the Macedonian general Ptolemy (from northern Greece) became the ruler of Egypt while founding the Ptolemiac Dynasty. The famous Egyptian beauty, named Cleopatra (VII), who took the Romans Julius Caesar and Marc Anthony as lovers, and died from an asp bite, was actually the last ruler of the Ptolemiac Dynasty -- True or False?
        A. True, or
        B. False.

 

Question #2: On this day in 1917, Premier Aleksandr Karensky flees Russia when the Bolsheviks take over. This event is commonly known as the "October Revolution" -- True or False?
        A. True, or
        B. False.

Question #3: Four months after its completion, on November 7, 1940, the 5,939-foot long suspension bridge, called the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, collapsed into Washington's Puget Sound from destructive harmonic vibrations induced by 42 MPH winds. This was the first time a collapsed suspension bridge was given the nickname "Galloping Gertie". -- True or False?
        A. True, or
        B. False.

++ QUOTE(s) OF THE DAY ++  --  Engineering Professor F. Bert Farquharson (University of Washington):
            "We knew from the night of the day [before] the bridge opened that something was wrong. On that night the bridge began to gallop."
