Previous IQs: Were you a fire-and-brimstone early president of Oberlin College? - Charles Grandison Finney (the story goes that he was opposed to having female students, but that was already a _fait accompli_. One day he greeted a pretty young student by thundering, “Good morning, daughter of the Devil!” She sweetly replied, “Good morning, Father.”) Was an entire country once named for you, but later renamed? - Yes, Cecil Rhodes of Rhodesia/Zimbabwe. Were you Nelson’s #2 guy at Trafalgar? - Adm. Cuthbert Collingwood. Still dunno who this is. I yield my two earned DQs to whoever would like to ask them, one per customer. ---
