I’m not Judas Iscariot, but take another DQ for 2. With IQs, you can ask about anyone, even if they’re clearly not the target person - no worries about sex until you get into DQ territory. ---

I don’t know the comic actress or the future shipmate, but that doesn’t matter because I’m **Indiana Jones**! Sorry to throw such an easy one out there, but my internet access will be shaky starting later today and I didn’t want to leave you all hanging. Good work, **EH** - take us away with a new one! ---
