I am not Admiral Horatio Nelson

@SCAdian

IQ3: Did a 20th-century singer use your name as a stage name?

I am sorry, I don’t know to whom you refer.

[fanganga]

Research indicates I was completely wrong on SCAdian’s second, that Huygens was an astronomer rather than an anatomist, and either Herophilus or William Harvey would have fit the question - have 2 DQs SCAdian.

[Prof.Pepperwinkle]

Hiroshige is the best-known ukiyo-e artist. Homer Simpson’s daughter Maggie was voiced (for one word: “Daddy”) by Liz Taylor.

DQ: Scientist?

I’ll save the other DQ for now.

[fanganga]

Oh dear, to be known forever in the circle of SMDB Botticelli players as the one who missed Homer Simpson…

DQ2: I am male.

1. Did you write Steppenwolf?
2. Did you write Theogony?
3. Did you write Twice-told Tales?

[MissTake]

I have no knowledge of German scientists from that time frame, whose last name starts with H, so I shall get comfy on the sidelines.

[fanganga]

@Prof.Pepperwinkle

IQs:

1. Did you write Steppenwolf?

I am not … Harry Turtledove?

@Prof.Pepperwinkle

2. Did you write Theogony?

I am not … Thomas Hardy?

@Prof.Pepperwinkle

3. Did you write Twice-told Tales?

I am not … Tom Holt?

[fanganga]

OK, research indicates that I’m completely wrong on at least two of Elendil’s Heir’s DQs and all of the Prof’s, which would take us beyond 20 DQs granted. I therefore feel obliged to reveal that I’ve taken the liberty of introducing a twist to this game, and have clued it from the start.

[Prof.Pepperwinkle]

Steppenwolf was by Herman Hesse, Theogony by Hesiod, and Twice-told Tales by Nathaniel Hemingway.

IQ: Are you the “father of chemical warfare”?

(Hmm… a twist?)

[fanganga]

@Prof.Pepperwinkle

IQ: Are you the “father of chemical warfare”?

I am not Fritz Haber.

[SCAdian]

@MissTake

I have no knowledge of German scientists from that time frame, whose last name starts with H, so I shall get comfy on the sidelines.

All I can think of is Werner Heisenberg, and we know he’s not the one…

[fanganga]

If we hit 20 DQs without an answer I’ll reveal the twist - there are 5 to go - the prof has 3 and Elendil’s Heir has at least 2.

To recap what we know:

I am a real, male, German scientist who was born before 1900 and died between 1900 and 1950. My letter is h, although H is not the initial letter of my first name.
