Well, my first was Manet, not Monet. I’ve heard of but haven’t seen Roshomon or Yojimbo, so I don’t know Mifune. However… Congrats, SCAdian! Good job! ---

> [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](#): > > I’ve heard of but haven’t seen Roshomon or Yojimbo, so I don’t know Mifune. He was in _The Seven Samarai_, and a ton of other classic samarai movies. He’s like the John Wayne of Japan. If you’ve ever played 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon, he’s the reason why pretty much every Japanese actor is 3 degrees from KB. They were in a movie with Mifune, who was in _Midway_ with Robert Wagner, who was in _Wild Things_ with Bacon. ---

You are now Botticelli Master. Pat Morita (as etv said). Fu Manchu. Mifune just popped into my head as I was writing the other two questions. I would have said that I’ve never seen any of his films (especially not the two I mentioned :)), but I guess I have if he’s in _Midway_. He’s just one of those big names that I’ve known about for years. Hmmm… I always have trouble with picking someone, because names I’ve known since I was a kid, due to my peculiar reading habits, are probably unknown to most of you. (Anybody know offhand who Guenther Luetjens, Rene Fonck and Abd-el-Kader were?) Aha! I am **W**. ---

No, I don’t recognize those characters. It’s enough for me to keep up with Dr. Seuss. IQ1: Does your family have your music performed yearly at the Bayreuth festival? IQ2: Were you the artist for Mad Magazine’s “Superduperman?” IQ3: Were you a newspaper columnist and radio commentator who would start his broadcasts with “Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. America from border to border and coast to coast and all the ships at sea. Let’s go to press.”? ---
