(A word of caution: Round 10 was also an "AL," so you might see some similar guesses here).
Are you an English bassist now playing for Biomechanical?

Thanks for the comment - I missed round 10!
I am not Adrian Lambert.

I'm thinking this is an election reference, but I don't think Abraham Lincoln was in the 1936 one. :eek:

You were on the right track. Alf Landon, who was trounced by FDR.
Were you alive in the 20th century?
Were you once lead singer of The Tourists?
No, I am not the truly stunning singer that is Annie Lennox (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24fGmWG6kpg).
Were you alive in the 20th century?
- I was not alive in the 20th century

Abe Licoln replaced James Buchannan. Buchannan was the 15th President, a bachelor, and was widely rumored to be smitten with a US senator who's name escapes me at the moment.
Are you a man (or were you a man?)

Are you the lovely but acerbic daughter of a President?

(Was Art Linkletter right?!)
I assume 'Chuck' is some form of address for Charles :eek: , so I am not Alice Lidell (I think that's how it's spelt).
Are you the Father of Modern Chemistry?
I wish I had paid more attention in School!
:confused: - so have a question!

Is this a reference to Arthur Lee (no relation?)
Did you kill Jack Palance in a gunfight?
No, I am not Alan Ladd (but Shane was a great film!)

:confused: - so have a question!
(I keep remembering the scene in Ferris Bueller's Day Off where the economics teacher describes Reaganomics as Voodoo :) )
Is your real name Esther "Eppie" Friedman?
No, I am not Ann Landers. (Would you like some advice? :) )

Yes, I was referring to Arthur Lee, leader of the band Love.
The economist: Arthur Laffer- his famous "Laffer Curve," sketched on a napkin, showed that under some circumstances, a tax cut could increase government revenues.
My direct question: Are you a fictional character
Did you replace Jackie the Jokeman?
I think this is to do with Howard Stern, but ...

Did your Dad write "She Walks in Beauty" and "Don Juan"?

I don't think Jenna (Bush) Hager counts (though she is lovely but acerbic)...

That was Ada Lovelace, Lord Byron's daughter (and a pioneer of computer science in her own right)
Direct question: Are you European?
Antoine Lavoisier.

Liddell, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Liddell) actually, but you were correct on the identification. Is "Chuck" not used as a nickname in Britain? During the Royal Wedding hullabaloo (yes, it extended to the erstwhile "Colonies") of 1981, references to "Chuck and Di" were common in gossip columns and tabloid headlines.

I always thought that was just for the sake of being able to make the toast "Drink up, Chuck and Di."
