Your pattern of answers is a little confusing, **DC**. To make clear which IQs you’re answering, we usually reply directly after each person’s post (which you can do with “Reply With Quote”). Previous IQs: Did you customarily have a dental exam on a particular day each year? - Dan Quayle, on election days Did you help James Bond in Jamaica? - Yes, Quarrel, in _Doctor No_ Did you tell someone, “This goo is you”? - The near-omnipotent alien Q said this to Picard in the last ST:TNG episode, after taking him back in time and showing him the primordial soup of what would become life on Earth DQs: American? Would be alive today, if real? IQs: Are you mayor of Springfield in a fictitious state? Did you write lots of mystery stories? Are you better known as Green Arrow? ---

Sorry, sometimes I get lazy on my tablet and just use quick reply for ease. Will bear in mind should I host another round in future. Anyway, it doesn’t matter for now, as KO has it - I am Quetzalcoatl, Aztec God of awesome. I hope there are no devout Aztecs reading who are offended by my assertion that he is not real. Well played, KO. Of the remaining IQs, I am not Mayor Quimby, but I couldn’t recall the others. ---

I did not know that, so there was an opportunity there for an IQ to be asked that would have been aiming at the correct person, but I would have said “don’t know” :). IQ1: Did you write “In the bleak midwinter”? IQ2: According to legend, were you reassured in your quest by a spider? IQ3: Are you a tall, skinny, American comedian with a very dry sense of humor? ---
