IQ: Are you a prodisestablishmentarianist PM of the UK? IQ: Did you make candles on Staten Island before returning home to reunite? IQ: Are you, along with King Arthur and Charlemagne, one of the three Christians\* among the “Nine Worthies”? \*Officially. I guess there is some doubt about Arthur’s Christianity, among other attributes. ---

> [@astorian](#): > > If I’d said Jerome “Dizzy” Dean, would you have taken it?.. Yes, because you obviously would’ve had that particular ballplayer in mind. As in _Jeopardy!_, it’s the last name that counts. George Washington had a dog named Sweetlips. George Costanza on _Seinfeld_ was notorious for his very, very thick wallet. Gerri Halliwell of the Spice Girls made headlines for stealing a kiss from Prince Charles. 1. European? 2. Dead? 3. In entertainment? IQ: Does the same actor provide both your voice and that of your owner? IQ: Are you fond of origami but not necessarily of rain? IQ: Were you a modest businessman who went on to military glory in the 18th century? ---

> [@astorian](#): > > Not Gladstone or Garibaldi. > > But no idea on the 9 Worthies- ask a DQ. Godfrey of Bouillon, who refused the title “King of Jerusalem” so as not to arouse God’s jealousy, is the most recent Christian among the Nine Worthies as chosen in the 14th century by Jacques de Longuyon. I will keep mum about the three Jews and the three pagans with an eye on the future. DQ: Is your fame mostly military or political in origin? ---

Not who I was thinking of as to the first one, but you’re right, so I’ll rephrase: IQ: Does the same actor provide both your voice and that of your owner, neither of you being human? Correct as to Gaff. Nathanael Greene was a modest Rhode Island businessman who went on to become George Washington’s best general. My DQ: Author, writer or playwright (unless that is included in “entertainment”)? Two other IQs for now. IQ: Did you leave your home behind as a museum, but with very strict rules for those who ran it after your death? IQ: Were you “the Welsh Wizard”? ---

For the first question, I assume it was the leader of the Vandals, but I don’t know his name. Ask a DQ. For the second, it was Guglielmo Marconi (one of the few SImpsons episodes I’ve seen and still remember) ---

I’m not David Lloyd “The Welsh Wizard” George. I’m stumped on the animal/owner voice question and the museum question. SO take two DQs. ---

On reflection, I realize I got the quote wrong. It should be “This never happened to the other fellow”. I’ll let you have another shot.
