Botticelli - May, 2013

???

It’s a nongame question. It’s joke on “You’re a peein’”.

FTR, I’m another who knew who Joseph Brant was.

Having trouble thinking of IQs though.

Yes, Brant was a Mohawk chief around the time of the Revolution.

Another question for y’all: You are Sitting Bull, and someone asks “Does your first name start with ‘S’?” How do you answer that?

Go find a stick and whack yourself with it a few times, please. :slight_smile:

Sinclair, Uhura, and your correction are all correct. The musician was Metallica drumer Lars Ulrich.

DQ: Are you a political figure?

[del]Is it del?[/del] The tag for strikethrough is “del.”

David Letterman did joke introductions across the theater: “Uma… Oprah! Oprah… Uma!”
This was U.S. Grant, too. Question withdrawn, since etv78 already asked about him.
Tracey Ullman.

DQs:

British?
Died since 1975?
Notable for just one incident or event?

IQs:

Were you sent by private railway car to where you could do the most harm?
Were you a Biblical king whose death was used to note a key year?
Were you a pre-Norman Conquest petty king to whom Conan Doyle may have obliquely referred in a story?

For Botticelli purposes, I think the chief’s answer should be “Yes.”

IQs:

  1. Were you the Voice of the Swiss Reformation?
  2. Were you noted for your 'umility?
  3. Were you a 15th Century Italian painter?

I’ll take my second DQ.

DQ: Known for artistic accomplishments, using the standard Doper Botticelli definition of “the arts”?

And some IQs
IQ1: Are you a film director notorious for terrible adaptations of video games?
IQ2: Did you write a series of novels about Sparrowhawk?
IQ3: Did you carry the message that ordered your own murder?

IQ: Are you an author famous for your historical epics?

…and yes, I agree, Sitting Bull starts with an “S”. (But safety begins with U!)

Not Ulrich Zwingli.
2 DQs.

Not Ursula LeGuin.
2 DQs.

LeGuin popped into my mind just as I was starting to type “3 DQs.” :smiley:

3 DQs.

You people obviously know a lot more Us than I do…

U

  1. Dead
  2. First name (the name I am best known by) starts with ‘U’
  3. Male
  4. Real
  5. Not a religious figure
  6. European
  7. Political figure
  8. Not British
  9. Died since 1975
  10. Not notable for just one incident or event
  11. Not known for artistic accomplishments

Oops - missed this one.
DQ.

“Sitting Bull” obviously starts with S, yes. The actual question was more like “Would you say that Sitting is his first name, and Bull his last name?”

Considering the number of times the Bat Out Of Hell singer’s been called Mr. Loaf, sure.

Uriah Heep (from Dickens’ David Copperfield) often referred to himself as 'umble; Paolo Uccello was the artist.

I need to squirrel my DQs away until my acorns are in order. Hmmmm.

IQs

  1. Were you secretly Shoe-shine Boy?
