1. He had a mental disorder, syphilis, bipolar,schizophrenia, alcoholic, no one knows for sure.
2. A freind with benefits is a friend you're having sex with, but not involved romantically.
3. I would say Rockefeller was the richest. In today's dollars he'd be richer than gates.
4. Apparently is not a synonym of obviously. Apparently conveys a meaning of something assumed. Obviously means it's certain.
5. Don't know.

1.Actually, van Gogh and Gauguin were friends for a long time, until one day when they were both drunk, they got into a duel. It's believed that Gauguin cut off part of van Gogh's ear during that duel, and the next morning van Gogh didn't remember it, so Gauguin was easily able to pass it off as van Gogh having done it himself out of insanity, hearing voices, or other such legends. This duel didn't take place with swords, it's just a fancy name for a drunken fight back then. van Gogh attacked Gauguin with a razor, and it's probable that Gauguin wrested it from Vincent and cut part of the man's ear off. There's a book somewhere out there all on the evidence of this, but unfortunately I couldn't find it.



2.Sexual promiscuity and �friends with benefits� in today�s society has been associated with many different connotations and ideas. The majority of these ideas are split at the very opposite ends of a large spectrum. At one end, �friends with benefits� holds a very negative tone, threatening morals and traditional values. On the other side, the term comes with a positive, new age connotation. This second view considers the concept to be a healthy, positive method of fulfilling basic desires in a safe manner. Some people use �friends with benefits� as added enjoyment while already in a romantic relationship. For others, the time needed for an extensive relationship is not available due to work, school, etc. �Friends with benefits� offers a chance for these people to remain satisfied while accomplishing their goals.

1. He was psychologically ill. Exactly what he suffered from, no one is quite sure.

2. Someone with whom you are friends (not in a romantic relationship) but with whom you also have physical (e.g. sexual) contact.

3. Well that would somewhat depend on whether you want to take people from the past and compare the value of the money then to the value of the money now.

4.Sometimes, but some would say apparent can mean other things besides obvious, such as ostensible rather than actual. Obvious means easily seen. Different dictionaries define them differently sometimes.

5. The most recent wikipedia entry has it selling 449,575
