    Where does the time go....George Everest is a great choice.


    1. Are you the founder of a well known cartoon town, which is named after you?
    2. Have you been played by such people as Cesar Romero and Mark Hamill?
    3. Did your triumphant song call you "The Mighty" even though in reality you weren't?

    IQ2: Are you a TV actress who got her start living in the "Real World"?
    IQ3: Are you a mystery author and amateur detective?
