If you know of earlier versions (or even mentions) of these, please help me find the earliest of them: ============== BOTTICELLI [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=2952760&postcount=2](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=2952760&postcount=2) 02-06-2003, 02:00 PM KneadToKnow It’s not really a word game, but Botticelli is big at my house.
