@De_La_Rue – By my count you still have one remaining DQ.

No I don’t. I got three DQs in post #119, didn’t have the chance to get any more, and have asked three DQs.

I am explorer, adventurer, and naturalist Roy Chapman Andrews, leader of the Central Asiatic Expeditions to Mongolia in the 1920s, and perhaps best known for discovering the first nest of dinosaur eggs.

He was going to be my guess.

I’ve read about him, but would never have come up with his name.

:frowning: [many expletives deleted] :frowning:

Oops. Was in such a hurry to get this game over with and forgot to do the “Firstname Lastname” DQs. Many humble apologies, but since kitap says Andrews was going to be her guess, I will happily turn control over to her for the next round.

I don’t know him. Good on you, kitap!

He was supposedly a model for Indiana Jones. I heard about him at the UW.

Hmmmmmm… i am L

As in lizard, Louisiana and licorice.

i guess I am
