IQ2: Were you Ygraine’s bastard son?
IQ3: Did you write of the first and the last?

@fanganga

I am not … Adolf Hitler, who according to the popular ditty only had one testicle?

@Zakalwe

Quick rule hijack: Wouldn’t this count (in spite of what SCAdian was going for)? I thought ANY answer that met the question counted.

I don’t think so. A body with two testicles could be ruled out, but a body with only one wouldn’t positively identify him. And the question was if the body could be identified by the lack, not if the body had the lack.

But of course it’s up to fanganga to decide, as he’s (she’s?) hosting this game.

[Elendil_s_Heir]

Way to go, fanganga!

From the previous round:

@Elendil_s_Heir

IQs:

Did the Pope give you a special flag for your important venture?
Did a joke about you cause an ambassador to get sent home?
Did your owner shout “Revenge! Revenge!”

@Prof.Pepperwinkle

Hmmm. Nope, I got nothing. Take 3 DQs.

William the Conqueror, who got the pontiff’s blessing for his invasion of England.
The new British ambassador-designate told a joke at a dinner party that, “When President Wilson proposed to [his future second wife] Edith Galt, she was so surprised she fell out of bed.” This story got back to Wilson, who then frostily refused to accept the ambassador’s credentials. The British government recalled him and sent someone else.
The titular creature from A Fish Called Wanda; her owner was played by Michael Palin.

@fanganga

…I was thinking of Harold Wilson, but it turns out I’d had him mixed up with Harold McMillan, who actually said the “never had it so good” line…

Actually, it’s spelled “Macmillan.”

IQs:

Did you say you liked your preachers to look like they were fighting bees?
Did your mom call you Estel?
Did you write of a fictional great engineer who displayed a picture of Brunel in his office?

Hitler was a stretch as the song was an exaggeration, and in the event his body wasn’t identified by examining his genitalia. Adam and Eve not having navels is a well-known riddle, so I’m happy to award the DQ.

Draelin still has two reserved DQs, but appears to have been kidnapped by a UFO.

Close enough–I lost my internet for a day, then I hurt my back and couldn’t find a comfortable position to use the computer in. It’s been a rough weekend. Now I have to catch up before I can ask any questions.
