Congrats CFoHG. I certainly knew the character but didn’t know he had a last name. IQ: 1. Are you the smartest man in the world who engineered a fake alien invasion so as to prevent nuclear war? 2. Were you a conquistador known for the massacre of a native american village (and the amputation of the feet of some of the survivors) in retaliation for the death of your nephew. 3. According to legend were you torn to pieces by a bunch of wild women under the influence of a drunken god. ---
