Heh. Enough to know that it's Davison, not Davidson! (He's my favorite Doctor and loved him in All Creatures, Campion and The Last Detective.)Definite anglophile.
Pertwee is my 2nd favorite, though Patrick Troughton comes close.
Answer to #1 was Sir Philip Sidney, Elizabethan soldier, poet and author. Also the son-in-law of Francis Walsingham, which should interest Elendil's Heir as it relates to the unsolved Yorktown mystery.
DQs:

As to Sir Philip Bleedin' Sidney: . Didn't know he was Walsingham's son-in-law!
Were you Brett's buddy belowdecks? - Parker, played by Yaphet Kotto in the movie Alien.
Did you flirt with a character played by Elizabeth Banks? - Peter Parker, in the first Spider-Man movie; Banks played J. Jonah Jameson's cute secretary.
Were you First Speaker in an Asimov book? - Preem Palver in the Foundation series.

I know, cool bit of trivia, isn't it? Ugh, how'd you like to have Walsingham as a father-in-law? I don't know if that'd be super-scary or if it'd make you super-safe, at least for a while. Then again he died ridiculously young (Sidney did, that is) so he didn't have to endure what Walsingham did to people who irked him.
He's also the nephew of Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, i.e. the first guy Elizabeth I loved, and nearly married into the Deveraux family (i.e. the same family as Robert Deveraux, the Earl of Essex, the last guy Elizabeth I loved).
And yep, I thought of Philip Sidney because Michael Palin played him in MPFC! "Whilst I rest, read to me a while from Shakespeare's Gay Boys in Bondage." (I also mentioned him 'cause I thought CIAS was the Tudor expert! Wanted to give him/her a gimme.)

Choie: Where did you get the idea I'm a tudor expert?? My only knowledge is in knowing that I know nothing
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
Oh dear CatInASuit. I thought you were big on the Tudors 'cause you asked or maybe answered a couple of IQs in earlier rounds about, IIRC, Mary Tudor and Jane Grey.
My answers were:
1. Ross Perot. Ron Paul isn't super-rich (I don't think) and didn't create his own party--he ran as a Republican or Libertarian, I don't remember which. Perot, a billionaire, created the "United We Stand" party.
2. Alan Partridge. Named his kid Fernando after the ABBA song. Fictional radio and tv chat show host as well as ex-sports reporter and current North Norwich Digital DJ/autobiographer. I was gonna give you the hint that he shot one of his guests in the face but I thought that would be too obvious!
3. Peter Fonda (dad Henry Fonda, sister Jane both Oscar winners; Peter was nominated both as a writer for Easy Rider and as Best Actor for Ulee's Gold). Chris Penn was a good guess, since both his parents were in show biz too.
I think I'll just take two DQs however, considering you came close with Ron Paul. He is the spiritual leader of the Tea Party. (Personally I'd give you EH's #1 too. Total Ben Weiss Clause!)
DQs:
1. Are you magical?
2. Did you first appear in a book?
IQs:
1. Have you ever possessed a scar in the shape of lightning?
2. Do you always know where your towel is?
3. Have you ever kidnapped anyone, and then do the same to her daughter, and her daughter, ad infinitum?
Yes, I certainly do know where my towel is: I am Ford Prefect.
That was a bit shorter than I thought it would be
Back over to you choie.
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
Congrats, choie!
My IQs:
Did Jack Bauer do his best to protect you? - David Palmer, the candidate in the first season of 24, and later President.
Were you often in jeopardy in a kids' automotive-related cartoon? - Yes, Penelope Pitstop.
Did your famous court case come out of New Orleans? - The plaintiff in Plessy v. Ferguson, which upheld "separate but equal" segregation. The courtroom in which the original trial was held is part of the New Orleans city museum, which I once visited.
Yay! Honestly I thinking of Ford Prefect once I found out he first appeared in print, because I'm staring at my Hitchhikers Guide omnibus right now. Sorry about that, CIAS.
Okay the new letter is S
IQs:
Did you have the giant stone head of an Olmec war god in your basement?
Did you drink quite a few glasses of water to make sure you'd spot a visitor?
Were you that visitor?
1. No, I am not.. well, any of the Simpsons since it's in their basement, but I guess the gift was to Bart for giving blood to Burns, right? So No, I am not Bart Simpson.
2 and 3 are STUMPED and I can't even fathom. Was the first person drunk and needed to sober up?
Well, Homer (and/or Marge) owned the house, so he would've been the answer to the first question. (I love the head of Xtapolapocetl; it's my favorite Simpsons running sight gag: http://simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/Olmec_head).
The second was definitely Bart, on Christmas Eve, which means...
Santa Claus was the third answer.
Shall I take two DQs, or one?
Last edited by Elendil's Heir; 09 Oct 2013 at 11:41 PM.
Yeah, the head cracks me up too! But wait, what episode is it where Bart drinks water waiting for Santa Claus? It sounds like it would've been an early episode--it's a kid-like thing to do and Bart behaves more genuinely childish in the earlier seasons. But I thought I knew all the Christmas episodes at least through Season 10 or so.
Oh two, definitely!Shall I take two DQs, or one?
Tests out Anglophile knowledge.
1. Are you a member of the Goon Show?
2. Are you a member of the Goon Show?
3. Are you a member of the Goon Show?

Blimey. Two out of three here...
1. No I am not Spike Milligan. (Almost wrote Spike Jones!)
2. No I am not Peter Sellers.
3. STUMPED. Crud, I feel like it's Henry something. (Obviously starting with an S.) I'm going to kick myself.
Take yourself one DQ, hot off the griddle.
I agree, it was an early episode - don't remember when, exactly. Bart drank so much water that he'd have to get up to pee during the night and thus would be more likely to spot Santa.
DQs:
Real?
Male?
IQs:
Did you and your sweetie often hang out at Ft. Belvedere?
Did you say you remembered someone even though, as far as everyone knew, you'd never met him before?

1. Ha! No, I am not Wallis Simpson.
2. No, I am not... O.J. Simpson? (No, probably STUMPED, I'm just guessing him because you're on a Simpson roll...)
3. God only knows. Erm... No I am not Paul Simon? (TOTAL stab in the dark. If this turns out to be Sting I will be really angry with myself considering he's my favorite pop singer.)
Probably 2 DQs.
DQs:
1. Real
2. Male
Did you and your sweetie often hang out at Ft. Belvedere? - Yes, Wallis Simpson. Very good.
Did you say you remembered someone even though, as far as everyone knew, you'd never met him before? - Khan Noonien Singh said in ST: The Wrath of Khan that he recognized Chekov, even though Chekov didn't appear in ST:TOS "Space Seed," the episode in which Khan first appeared.
Did you compose a hit song at least in part as a rebuke to your record label? -Sarah Bareilles (sp?) wrote the ironic, anti-love song "Love Song" because the label said she would make better money if she wrote... you know.

2. This can't be the answer you want, but No, I am not Van Cliburn. (Well, I know he did begin his concerts this way! Does that count?)
3. I.... I can honestly say I have no idea about the boil-lancing boyfriend. No I am not Dan Savage?
DQs:
1. Real
2. Male
3. Last name does not begin with S
4. Not living
Were you Spock's romantic rival? - Close - it was Stonn.

2. STUMPED (cooler king? Someone hipper than Elvis, or is this someone who's, like, the leader of the refrigerators?)

2. Male
3. Last name does not begin with S
4. Not living
5. American
6. Died before 1900
7. Not political/military
8. Not a sports person
(You may want to make what you're asking a bit more specific. For example, if my person was Alexander Godonov, he was known for being a ballet dancer but also a famous defector. Thus I could have hypothetically answered Yes to DQ #7 since I would say he's known for a political act too--EH didn't specify whether this was the person's primary trait. In other words, your shortcutting the questions gives me room to be bitchy.
Stonn and Stahn are spelled differently and would (I think) be pronounced differently. So tough noogies.
Correct as to Sam Spade and Spock. The guy who winked at the funeral was Superman, at Batman's funeral in The Dark Knight Returns graphic novel; he winks at Robin because he realizes that Batman isn't really dead.

Fortunately you made up for your crazy obscure references with this set of IQs, for which I thank you.

Was your dad careful to note that he'd earned a Ph.D. in an unusual field?
Well I'm thoroughly embarrassed to say that the only one of these I know, God help me, is the reference to the utterly craptastic Virtuosity. No, I am not SID.
A clear sign of having spent too many nights watching bad movies on HBO.
Just to answer the others that will be utterly wrong: No, I am not William Tecumseh Sherman (yeah right, I'm sure he'd've stopped just 'cause Lee was having his nuptials) and no, I am not, um... Ned Stark, just to make you laugh at the idea of anyone in GoT getting a PhD. Plus, he's Sean Bean, so why not.
Take your two DQs!
Did you call a time-out for a wartime foe's wedding night? - This was the great Moslem warrior Saladin, during the Crusades.
Were you the inhuman villain of a Denzel Washington movie? - Yes, the villainous computer program SID (Sadistic, Intelligent, Dangerous).

Get ready for three more, ma'am.
Did a George W. Bush prop stand in for you, kind of? - This was the aforementioned Ned Stark: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...led-STAKE.html
Were you the actor who played the character referred to above? - And the aforementioned Sean Bean.
Were you forced to marry someone you really, really didn't want to? - "One of the Sabine women"? Nice try, but you need a personal name, and it's Sansa Stark, Ned's eldest daughter.

AHA! Hoist by your own petard, sir! I call foul on two of your evil Game of Thrones DQs due to the incorrectness of your questions/answers -- as proven by your own link. (Admittedly, it's the Daily Fail, which CIAS will concur is hardly a bastion of journalistic exactness, but I did a quick check that bears out the facts.)
The George Bush head was not anyone in particular, much less Ned Stark (thus invalidating both your IQ answers #1 and #2 and making me correct)! The quote from the Mail, bolding mine:
The ever-corpsable Sean Bean's head (as Ned Stark) was thus entirely distinct from George W. Bush's unnamed Severed Head Dude. So I reject two of your DQs. And, as a wise man once said, tough noogies.Sansa Stark refuses at first, but then looks up to see not only her father, but also George W. Bush.
IQs:
1. No, I am not Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain)? (The only reason I associate Twain with SanFran is that I seem to recall he did in Time's Arrow on TNG. Yes, everything I know about American history I learned from terrible Star Trek episodes.
2. No, I am not Sonny Corinthos from General Hospital. (Worked his way up to mob boss.)
3. Ooh if only this question were about the actor who'd played someone instead of the character, I'd go with Stephen Fry (who played the voice of "the Guide" in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and was a friend of Douglas Adams). But it wasn't, so STUMPED.

Did you work for an evil boss and then become one yourself? - I'll rephrase.

Because y'all are getting close to running out of questions I'm going to help you out by stressing: By simply asking something like "Military?" you're inviting a response of "yes" if this person was indeed in the army.

Now who could be fairer than that?
Thanks for the clarified answers. I think "best known for" is implicit in all IQs.
Before 1600, did you work for an evil boss and then become one yourself? - I'll rephrase again.
Did your creator liken your role to that of a person with a superhero's name, but not his characteristics? - Yes, this is Samwise, but not for the reason you think - Tolkien likened him to Frodo's "batman," in British Army parlance (i.e. personal aide, valet and guard)
Did you play that character in several films? - Yes, Sean Astin. Well done!
IQs:
You are neither an ancient Roman nor Greek. Before 1600, did you work for an evil boss and then become one yourself?
Did you wrongly pooh-pooh the warnings of scouts before a big battle?
Did your horse Rienzi end up stuffed and mounted in a museum?
Implicit, shmimplicit. I may play a mind-reader but I ain't one! Plus to deny some of these aspects of this person's life would be kind of false, especially one of them since it's how he first rose to fame.
And after that "batman" clue you deserve all the obfuscation you get!
IQs:
1. Don't wanna play with ancient Rome or Greece, eh? My BBC history lessons continue: No, I am not Edward Seymour, who was Lord Protector of England during Edward VI's regency only to kidnap the young King and end up executed for his various crimes. Seymour rose to power under Henry VIII, who's certainly considered evil by his wife's fans and a multitude of Catholics. (I could've gone with Edward's brother Thomas, who IMHO was nastier but not as highly positioned--I wouldn't call him a boss.)
2. Oh geeze military history. Um. The only real person I can think of is Gen. Custer, but that's not an S name. I dunno, I'm not Darth Sidious? I'm sure Palpatine must've ignored someone's advice at some point...
3. LOL. STUFFED. I mean, STUMPED.
You are neither an ancient Roman nor Greek. Before 1600, did you work for an evil boss and then become one yourself? - I'll rephrase again.
Did you wrongly pooh-pooh the warnings of scouts before a big battle? - William T. Sherman, before the Battle of Shiloh.
Did your horse Rienzi end up stuffed and mounted in a museum? - Philip Sheridan, another U.S. general in the Civil War.
Two DQs reserved. Any suggestions, CIAS?
IQ:
You are fictional. Before 100 BC, did you work for an evil boss and then become one yourself?
Heh, okay, you got me. All I can think of are people like Siegfried and he wasn't evil, so STUMPED.
You are neither an ancient Roman nor Greek. Before 1600, did you work for an evil boss and then become one yourself? - Sauron was Morgoth's lieutenant before he became the Big Bad all by himself.
Three DQs reserved. CIAS, where are you?
Well, seeing as my knowledge of 19th Century Americans is pretty limited, I'm not going to be much use on this one.
Chances are he died before 1865 - American Civil War as just about everyone got involved in that.
Dabbled in writing and politics, probably more likely to be a business man who supported people in politics rather than directly be involved.
Those are my current thoughts.
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
So....
A dead American male, first name started with S, died between 1865 and 1900, not notable for Civil War service, never elected to office. Involved in politics, writing and the creative arts, but not particularly known for those things. Born east of the Mississippi. Hmmm. Lemme think.
