Well-guessed, SCAdian!!

As an aside, your DQ of “known for the arts” threw me a bit. I’m not sure what you meant by “as defined by this group.” Since Rupert was at least an amateur artist, arguably he’s not known primarily for the arts, but a “no” answer might still be inaccurate, while a “yes” would certainly be misleading. What’s the accepted standard for answering this question?

Good job, SCAdian!

Yes, congrats, SCAdian!

I try to give a qualified answer under those circumstances, such as “Not best known for the arts” - that is, somewhat known, but it’s not the most important thing about this person, or what he’s remembered for. You can be discreet, cryptic even, without being misleading.

I concur with EH on “Not best known for the arts”.

Some of our players are military historians. I gave up trying to stump them with military people a long time ago. :slight_smile:

Correct.
Raymond Burr (Godzilla, King of the Monsters!, Perry Mason, and Ironside).

Fascinating Wikipedia article on him. I only knew him as an outstanding cavalry leader - hadn’t heard about all those other things.
Hmmm… Do the names Nancy Wake or Mush Morton mean anything to any of y’all?
I am N.

Nothing on either name for me.

IQs:

  1. Were you Watson to Rathbone’s Holmes?
  2. Were you Fu Manchu’s adversary?

IQ1: Are you and your sister Anne lead singers of the band Heart?
IQ2: Were you Sid Vicious’s girlfriend, possibly killed by him?
IQ3: Did Shane Stant bash you in the upper leg with a truncheon?

The first one is Nigel Somebody, I think, but no idea on the surname so take three DQs.

DQ.
DQ.
Not Nancy Kerrigan.
