Who is Alexander Suvorov? He was the Russian general who invaded Switzerland back in 1799. He was one of the few generals in history who never lost a battle. One of his big victories came against a Frenchman named MacDonald. He died in 1800. His greatest ambition was to meet Napoleon on the battlefield, a wish never achieved.

Paul Gauguin was not a big success as a painter in his early life. He had a job for awhile as a tarpaulin salesman in Denmark. He was not a success at that either. He did not speak Danish and the Danes didn’t want French tarpaulins. His son Emile became a civil engineer and moved to Florida.

Wasn’t a vomitorium the place were Romans would go to throw up so they could eat more? Nope. It was the aisle beneath the seats of a stadium or theater and the names comes from the Latin verb vomere which means to spew forth. Maybe that’s the source of confusion.
