    Thanks - good one. I remember hearing her described as the smarter of the two Quayles; she allegedly had labor induced with one of their children so that she could take the Indiana bar exam on time.

    Other previous IQs:

    Did Tom Selleck play you in a single movie? - The title character (Tom Selleck) in Quigley Down Under
    Did you command an interstellar garbage-collection ship? - The title character (Richard Benjamin) in Quark

    OK, let's next go with

    Not Walter Zelig, Mike Wallace or Walter White.

    Yes, definitely worth a visit if you're ever on the Outer Banks. Favorite factoid: the Wright Brothers' first flight was less than the length of a Boeing 747.

    Another interesting factoid: if you were born the day before the Wright Brothers flight, and died the day after Armstrong walked on the moon, you only lived to be 65!

    I just checked Wikipedia. If you were born the day before the 1st manned hot air ballon flight, and lived to see the Wright brothers, you lived to be 120.

    Yeah, making it 120 is VERY unlikely

    FWIW, this says the Coxes are no relation to each other, and neither of their Wiki bios mention a family tie: https://alt.obituaries.narkive.com/j...ox-feb-15-1973

    Not Ashley Wilkes, John Wilkes Booth or Henry Wallace in 1944 (and FWIW I think he would've been a disaster as a President in the early Cold War, given his illusions about Stalin and the USSR; Truman did much better).
