So you’re not Faramir 🙂 Starting with the classics: Are you non-fictional? IQ: Do you have a sequence named after you? IQ: Do you play the mother of a mentally challenged young man who succeeds beyond most of our wildest dreams? ---

Ohhhh, damn. :smack: When I did a Google search to find out who it might be, all I got was this, ummm, [interesting story](http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/families/article4332635.ece). :eek: (very mildly NSFW) No, I am not non-fictional. That is to say, I am fictional. 😉 To answer your IQs: I am not Fibonacci. And I am not Sally Field! ---

Yeah, interesting, yeah. WTF? 😕 But fictional you say… ok… here goes: IQ: Did you take a black poodle home, who then turned out to be someone else? IQ: Are you a controversial American orator? IQ: Are you a man with an embarrassing last name? ---

Faust took a black poodle home. And it turned out to be Mephistopheles. DQ: Are you male? IQ: Are you a controversial African American orator? IQ: Did you help a famous agent out when he was strapped for cash? ---

Awwwh, man. I should’ve known that one. :smack: Yes, I am male. Male and fictional. IQ time: I am not Frederick Douglass? And I am neither the white Felix Leiter nor am I the black one. ---

We seem to be getting better at obscure questions 😉 Since there seem to be a lot more American orators starting with an F than I could think off, I’ll further specify: IQ Are you an controversial AA orator who is the National Representative of a specific association? IQ: Did you ever win a grand prize you receive in Stockholm? IQ: Did you win a civil war? IQ: Did you star in a short film where you most of all wanted to sit under a tree and smell the flowers? IQ: Did your wife sponsor a man who later made an egg stand on the _short_ end?
