Unsung Anti-heros

We’ve created a few questions leading you to people you definitely shouldn’t know, if for no other reason than to avoid them and their ilk. Try to answer our questions … if you dare.

2) This woman, the third wife of the Roman emperor Claudius, was allegedly executed for conspiring against her husband. One famous story of hers is about a sex competition she held with a prostitute to see how many partners they could have in a night. This woman won with 25. No slut shaming here, but that story makes us tired!
3) This German chemist, the father of chemical warfare, also won a Nobel Prize in chemistry for inventing a means of fertilizer manufacturing that to this day is used to produce food for half the world’s population.
4) Name the Indianapolis woman who tortured and killed 16-year-old Sylvia Likens, who was in her care.
