Yes, since DC knows him, by all means go again. (I see that was in 2012 and I didn’t start the Dope until 2013.) ---

I must admit I’d forgotten 32 died, which is probably why I didn’t make the connection. Also, the answer to number 18 led us away from it a bit - not a criticism, I think it’s absolutely the correct way to answer the question. ---

> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > Not Aesop, Pope Alexander IV and… dunno. Hmm. Aesop may have been a fabulator, but he didn’t stoop as low as Adam Ant. Not sure about that pope, I was thinking of Abraham, though, whose nephew Lot not only had it away drunkenly with his daughters, but lived for several years in Sodom itself. Asser was the hagiographer of Alfred the Great. Three DQs? Is that how the rules work, or should I take your alternative answers on trust and only claim one? ---

I’m not certain of either of my answers, so take three DQs, if you wish. ---
