It's Friday Trivia Time!
There's been a bit of talk about "willing modules" here on use.perl, so I'll combine that theme with a bit of historical trivia.
For 10 Trivia Points, according to at least one historical source, to whom did Alexander the Great leave his kingdom?
No Google! Good luck!
Update: jdavidb got it! 10 Trivia Points for jdavidb!

I believe you're thinking of Caligula.:)
To the strongest. I believe that was in a Smallville episode (the two part season finale/opener). I'm not sure I have the quote exactly right; it seems like it was more brazen than that.

And for supplementary information, the people wanted him to name a successor among his four sons. He did not, and they later fought each other into oblivion until the empire was so weak it was a snap for the Romans to come in and mop up. Prophesied ahead of time by a Jew.

Correct! Although, Smallville wasn't exactly my source.:)
