When the Nazis came into power in 1933, did they continue to commit to paying off other debts not related to the Treaty of Versailles? How good a reputation did the Nazis have for repaying loans issued by other countries/companies they weren't at war with?

In the spirit of Halloween: several news articles today talk about a woman returning pieces of tiles from Pompeii, claiming they cursed her with bad luck. Apparently this is not a new belief. What is the history of the "Pompeii Curse"? How far back have people believed in it?

In the painting, "Ludwig II on a night-time sleigh ride" King Ludwig II is seen riding briskly with an entourage of 4 escorts in a brightly illuminated sled. Is this painting an exemplar of aristocratic privilege or could royalty feasibly navigate at night with such a small unit in the late 1800s?
