Previous IQs: Did a colleague guess you were dead by two key clues? - Secretary of State William Seward was not told of President Lincoln’s death while recovering from an assassin’s knife attack. He figured out that Lincoln was gone, however, when he noticed a flag outside at half-mast, and knew the President would’ve visited him if he could. Did an actress have to bulk up by drinking disgusting milkshakes to play you? - So Sally Field said in an NPR interview, while preparing to play Mary Todd Lincoln. Was your wife particularly salty? - Yes, Lot. DQs: Died since 1970? Political/military? IQs: Did you provide Mater’s voice in a Pixar film? Did Civil War hero Chamberlain go by this middle name throughout his childhood? Was your dad nicknamed “Light-horse Harry”? ---
