Never heard of Harburg, either, although I’ve obviously heard of his songs. All right, **SCAdian**! Previous IQs: Did you costar in _The Black Hole_? - Yes, Yvette Mimeaux In a movie, did you have sex with an armored man? - Yes, Ygraine in _Excalibur_ - always good to meet a fellow fan! Do those in the know refer to you by your three initials? - Fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent IQs: Did you play the mom of doomed young women in two different shows? Did you look good in an animal-skin bikini in a single episode of a TV show? Do you work for Planet Express? ---

IQ1: Did you have a deep hatred for the neutral planet? IQ2: Did you write the Darkover books? IQ3: Did you have two heads?
