^ Ok, glad about that, but still be wary of your surroundings always! And carry things to keep you safe, and remember that there is safety in numbers!

#897: “Hugnes was archbishop of Reims in the tenth century when he was five years old. In the eleventh century Benedict IX was Pope at eleven years old.”

True, but misspelled. Possibly false.

In 925, his father, for presumably political reasons, made five-year-old Hugh of Vermandois archbishop of Reims. His reign ended when he was twenty-six.

One source claims that Benedict IX was made pope at eleven or twelve years old, and another says that he was twenty years old. Either way, he was a terrible pope, what with his sleeping around and selling off the papacy to two other popes.

#534: “James Ramsey invented a steam-driven motorboat in 1784. He ran it on the Potomac River, and the event was witnessed by George Washington.”

True and true, but possibly false.

In 1784, James Rumsey built a pump-driven steamboat. He exhibited it on the Potomac river at Shepherdstown in what is now West Virginia in 1787.

George Washington saw Rumsey’s model of a mechanical boat and encouraged him to continue work on the boat, since Washington had a project to make the Potomac navigable. I couldn’t find if Washington witnessed the demonstration at Shepherdstown, however.
