Hm. On the one hand, asking a question that doesn’t apply is a good way of getting a DQ. On the other hand, it’s susceptable to over-use. I think that for this game I’m going to say that the queries match the known facts. (Whoever wins can set his or her own rule in subsequent games.)
No, and I don’t know who you mean.
No. And unless you’re (Sam) Dale Brownbeck, I don’t know who you mean.
Well, I screwed up. Darius A. Brown was mayor of Kansas City Missouri in 1910. Since he wasn’t in Kansas, no DQ for me.
Here’s another one: Are you a scotsman who gave up a career as a roofer because of a good performance at the Open Championship (British Open golf tournament)?
Great - I will start the new thread soon (didn’t expect to get the answer to this one so quickly).
Douglas Bader (rhymes with “fodder”) was an amazing man. He lost both legs as the result of a 1931 crash, but somehow managed to re-qualify as an RAF pilot. He was shot down in 1941, and was able to escape from his Spitfire only by unstrapping his artificial legs. The Germans knew of and admired his exploits, and cooperated with a scheme whereby replacement legs were dropped by parachute. With these, he promptly attempted to escape. He wound up at the Colditz high-security prison where he was a major nuisance to his captors.
