> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > Good job, **SCAdian**. Off the top of my head, Prien was a top U-boat commander during WWII, wasn’t he? Dunno Miss Prism. Prien was the one who snuck his boat into the Home Fleet anchorage at Scapa Flow in 1939, sank a battleship, and escaped. It was probably a good thing for the British that he was killed in early 1941 – even with that short a career he’s in the top ten list for u-boat commanders. (Much of my reading when I was a kid was military history.) Miss Prism was in Oscar Wilde’s _The Importance of Being Earnest_. > [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > IQs: > > Did you command His Majesty’s Battlecruiser _MacArthur_? > Were you the proprietor of the Cafe Americain? > Did the butler offer to take your trident for you?

Take another DQ or two if you feel the surnameless answers above were inadequate. > [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](#): > > IQs: > > 1. Are you married to the actor who’s the current James Bond? > 2.
