Botticelli Round 22 -- Unfinished Business

Does your alter egos live in a garbage can and/or a nest?

This is a reference to Christopher Smart, an 18th century English poet, and his poem to his cat Jeoffrey.

DQ: Were you fictional?

Are you a Puerto Rico-born right-handed pitcher who played for the Padres?

Charles Aurelius Smith (January 14, 1915 to January 19, 1915)

DQ: Were you white?

Did you write a book about your true life experiences tracking down computer hackers?

Mine was Chris Smith, who as at least as famous as Botticelli, but probably only in the UK :). He was the UK’s first openly gay MP.

DQ: Were you a radio personality?

IQ: Are you a popular free exchange website?

Were you also known as Tom Thumb?

Did you market a PC for less than £100 ($200)?

You got me!

I am Charles Stratton, the diminutive performer who became a sensation while being promoted by my distant relative, P.T. Barnum. I was white, not a radio personality, and definitely not fictional.

I was also obviously not Caroll Spinney (Oscar and Big Bird on Sesame Street). I would have given DQ opportunities for each of the other IQ’s posted since I logged off yesterday.

You get to start the next round, Darryl Lict!

I’m not sure mine deserved a DQ - it was a joke question as I couldn’t think of any other CS. The answer? The well-known Craig Slist, of course!

Clive Sinclair (good on PC’s, bad on three wheelers!)

That was Ulises “Candy” Sierra, FYI.

Good job, Darryl Lict!
