Botticelli - June 2012

Thank god! I thought it was just me. :stuck_out_tongue:

Yes, as per Le Ministre’s comment, I’m scratching my head over “X” names.

IQ1: Were you one of the title character’s friends in a Joss Whedon TV show?

IQ2: Do you figure in the mythology of a religion created in the 1950s?

No, I’m not Xander from ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ nor am I Xenu from Scientology.

IQ: Did you leave the Nation of Islam after a falling out with Elijah Muhammad?

IQ1. Were you a Greek historian who hung with Socrates?

No, I’m not Malcolm X.

Yes, I am Xenophon of Athens, author of ‘Anabasis’ (‘There and Back’, or sometimes titled ‘The Persian Expedition’ in translation.). Xenophon is also well known as a secondary source on the thinking of Socrates. Virtually every course in Ancient Greek uses Xenophon as an example of clearly written Attic Greek, and it is rare to find an exam in Greek 101 that doesn’t have you translate at least one passage of his.
Well done, Wargamer!!!

Great work, Wargamer! And thanks, Le Ministre–that one was a challenge!

“Wingthought.” Heh. I like that. :smiley:

Capt. Francis X. Furillo (Daniel J. Trevanti), in Hill Street Blues. His ex-wife stupidly once carried into the station house a gun she’d found on the street, causing all of the cops in the room to draw on her. Ye gods, she was an annoying character.
Gen. Paul X. Kelley, USMC.
X-Ray, in the book and movie Holes.
