Previous IQs: Did you and an American author with the same name make an agreement as to how you would be referred to in your books? - Winston S. Churchill and Winston Churchill (the Brit and the American, respectively), agreed before World War I that the Brit would always use his middle initial to avoid confusion among their readers. Were you described as someone who “looks at foreign policy through the wrong end of a municipal drainpipe”? - Said by Churchill of Neville Chamberlain, a former mayor. Did a coworker tell your boss that, no matter what you were saying, you were actually an only child? - Pavel Chekov, as noted by Sulu in speaking to Kirk in _ST:TOS_ “Day of the Dove” (Chekov, under the influence of an alien lifeform, believed that Klingons had killed his nonexistent brother Piotr). DQ: Is appearing now in an ongoing work of fiction? Protagonist? Considered a beauty? ---

> [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](#): > > Are you Lara Croft, Tomb Raider? **YES!!!** I am British archeologist **Lara Croft** , who first appeared in the 1996 video game Tomb Raider, and later portrayed in a film series by Angelina Jolie (and someone else in a recent reboot). The last game was released in 2018, which actually was a prequel to the original game. The movie series is on hold due to COVID, but more games are on the way. Well done, Prof! ---
