:"1772 - A bloodless coup led by Gustav III was completed with the adoption of a new Instrument of Government."
needs more context.  Namely, "Sweden" should appear in there somewhere.  Maybe write out Gustav III of Sweden instead of just piping to it? LWizard @ 03:07, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

message: The 4th OTD, regarding the Axe Murder Incident and Operation Paul Bunyan, suggests the Operation "almost triggering a second Korean War" in 1976. But, according to Wikipedia an event primarilly known as "the Second Korean War" had already happened between 1966 and 1970.
So the OTD should probably be corrected to something like "...almost triggering a second full-scale Korean War" or "...almost triggering a third Korean War"  --Myfanwy 10:50, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
