Previous IQs: Were you a fictional scientist who took advantage of an android? - Dr. Ira Graves, on an episode of _Star Trek: The Next Generation_, who put his consciousness into Data. Did you complain about the location shoot of _Ghostbusters_? - This was also Isaac Asimov (he griped about the congestion around his Manhattan apartment), who I see has since been asked about, so I’ll withdraw it. Did you have reason to hate Richard Lugar? - Imelda Marcos, whose husband Ferdinand was driven from office and had to leave behind all her shoes, in part because Sen. Lugar advised the Reagan Administration not to try to prop up the Marcoses in the face of the popular protests against them. DQs: Won a major prize in his field? Caucasian? IQs: Were you Elendil’s son? Are you the host of NPR’s _This American Life_? Are you a noted recent basketball star? ---
