Congrats, **bordelond**. Always better to ask “British?” before “English?”, I think. Previous IQs: Is your middle name Kooi? - Former U.S. Sen. Alan Simpson. Did you have the bottom of your shoes polished? - Wallis Simpson, later Duchess of Windsor. Was Bleeding Gums Murphy your musical inspiration? - Yes, Lisa Simpson. Simpsons x3! > [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](#): > > …#3 Todd Lincoln, son of Abe… His first name was actually Robert, but I think it’s fair play, because he’s almost always referred to with both his first and middle names. On to T. IQs: Were you a Scandinavian UN Secretary-General? Were you a dutiful writer in Chekhov’s _The Seagull_? Were you a noted raggae musician? ---
