Public events where you are following sports events on huge screens in big places are called "public viewing" in germany. Some PR-idiots thought it would be hip and young to use english without doing any research.

Henry the eighth did not have six wives the maximum he could have had was 5 (depending on your religious stance) it could be as little as 2 wives. As one marriage was annuled which technically means the marriage never happened
Close, "two or depending on if your catholic. Anne of Cleves was annulled, like you said. The pope declared his marriage to Anne Boleyn illegal due to him being married to his first wife Cathrine of Aragon. He made his first marriage invalid due to him declaring it was illegal to sleep with his brothers widow." Depending on who you believe depends on whether it is 3 or 4. "he also annulled Cathrine Howard on grounds of adultery"

Well the ISS isnt a building it's a space station. And the biggest pyramid is about 230 metres broad thats only half the size of versailles castle in france.And no one suspects that to be visible from space
