Mr being his first name.

Dunno. I assume that’s official Python (Ltd.) stuff.

@Johnny_Q

IQ: Do you get No Respect?

No, I’m not Rodney Dangerfield.

@astorian

When not singing hard rock, do you travel through the Amazon with a group called the Jungle Studs?

@Dead_Cat

I think it’s a fair win - I knew of the character (and his name, though I suppose the tricksy bit was knowing (or thinking) that “Mr” was his actual first name) and I’m by no means a Python fan.

It was certainly guessable, if we’d done a better job or been luckier with the DQs.

Dunno. Ask a DQ.

IQ: Were you inspiration for the poem Ozymandias?

@Alka_Seltzer

IQ: Were you inspiration for the poem Ozymandias?

I thought that was Tutankamen? Dunno, then. Ask your DQ.

[Alka_Seltzer]

On the right track, it was Rameses II. Tutankamen died before he could achieve anything.

DQ: Are you European?

[astorian]

Do you refer to your better half as “She WHo Must Be Obeyed”?

[astorian]

Did you have your sister interred while she was still alive?

[astorian]

Of all pitchers with 20 or more career decisions against the New York Yankees, do you have the highest winning percentage?

You got me there. Ask a DQ.

[Johnny_Q]

IQ: Can we smell what you’re cooking?
No, I’m not Randy the Macho Man.

Sorry, the correct answer was Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

DQ: Are you real or fictional?
IQ: Are you a crazed Vietnam Vet who became the symbol of our military policy?

[astorian]

The guy who buried his sister alive was Roderick Usher, from Edgar Allan Poe’s “Fall of the House of User.”

And… before he became an outfielder for the Yankees, Babe Ruth was a stellar pitcher for the Red Sox. And he OWNED the Yankees.

DQ1: Does your last name start with “R”?

DQ2: Are you a fictional character?

No, I’m not John Rambo. Or Ron Kovic.

Johnny Q had just asked if this person is real, so ask another DQ if you wish.

3. Real
4. First name starts with “R”

Okay, substitute DQ: Were you born in the 20th century?
