Have you ever seen those crazy quizzes online where the website asks you what your shoe size is and it can tell you what figures from history you'd invite to your birthday party? Just me? Well, they exist, and we did two of them!
The first quiz is far more serious, asking us some tough questions but with terrible answers to determine which historical dictator we are. Now if you were to ask Hayley and Conor which historical figure they though Keego was, they'd say he had a fondness for square moustaches and failed art schools. But Google knows best as we all know when we have a lingering cough and consult Dr Google himself only to find out we're dying of a disease that affects 1 in 1 billion people. Play along and let us know what you ended up getting!

The second one we simply cannot figure out how telling the site what our favourite colour is and which of these amorphous blobs most appeals to us tells us which historic figure we most resemble but if the lady in the funny smelling tent was able to tell me what my future would hold by looking into a crystal ball that hadn't seen a lick of water since it was bought and charging me €20 for the pleasure then I can't see how this could go wrong. Try it yourself and tell us who you got! https://www.buzzfeed.com/katangus/which-famous-historical-figure-were-you-in-a-past
