Shouldn't we have people indicate if their questions are first or second order (the way we did before)? I know it doesn't matter now, but if this thread gets busy it could get confusing.
(BTW, I have a two-minute mystery if you want one for next time.)

25: Ooh ooh! It's celebrity namedrop Botticelli! We should be able to work out the rules for this variant somehow -- with every question you ask, you have to ask another one to which only you (or others connected with the story) could possibly know the answer.
A friend of mine was recently complaining to me how much she hates celebrity namedropping. She hates her boss (the guy who slept with Jeanne Moreau) because he does this all the time. She's thinking of breaking up with her boyfriend because he does it too much. I was thinking about this conversation as I posted 25.
Hrmm, guess my last question is also disqualified for "writing a book" reasons. I'm a bit surprised that there are any scientists who never wrote a book.
Oh, shit, I'm just messing up all over the place! The first time I misunderstood the rules, the second time I just hadn't seen that clue. I'll go flagellate myself now.
And I'm responding to each question honestly and individually, but I don't guarantee that they're not misleading you. I feel burned by being so honest about asteroid, so I'm just being truthful and not giving an indication of when you should think outside the box.
Only JM has the right to ask a second order question right now, though. What a paradox. Maybe in this variant you shouldn't have to ask a first order question to get the right to guess at who the person is.
I kinda want to play a variant of this game where we just come up with more and more ridiculous questions to which the answer is "No I am not Richard Feynman."
Examples:
"Did you famously stick something in ice water"
"Is your advice on dating summed up in the phrase 'you just ask them.'"
I suppose you could call it that. It was more of a joke in that it could either be a first order question, or a comment on the state of the game now that the answer is known.
I don't know that he invented an engine. He invented the automobile assembly line. But he engineered engines, or something. So engineers aren't scientists? I think he did experiments.
Wikipedia says he did experiments. It also says "one of the first" to use assembly line manufacture of automobiles, but he is nevertheless "famous for being an inventor."
But I like the looser rules for first order questions better, so you can ask it anyway. And I have no idea who it is. (Or, rather, I would have guessed Skinner -- I can't think of a 'W'.)
I was going to put in a plea for a new thread, to make it easier for us slow interweb third-world types, what with the constant refreshing and whatnot. But now of course it is way too late, and also tonight I've had an earthquake, there's a goddamned bat flying around in the house, and now it's 4.25 am and I shouldn't be playing any game anyway.

I was going to put in a plea for a new thread, to make it easier for us slow interweb third-world types, what with the constant refreshing and whatnot. But now of course it is way too late, and also tonight I've had an earthquake, there's a goddamned bat flying around in the house, and now it's 4.25 am and I shouldn't be playing any game anyway.
Did you play Churchill on a TV show?

Captain Wentworth from Persuasion. I was wondering how obvious it would be.

Wait, you're in the Pacific. You've got one of those mongo fruit bats flying around in your house? The huge ones?

No, it's a little guy.

HA.
I was hoping that was going to stump you, and then, when I revealed the answer you would be embarassed. This is even better.

Whew. I mean, flying foxes are gorgeous, but I wouldn't want to be sharing living space with one.

They end up in a coconut curry here. Paniki. Very leathery.

No, I'm not a woman.
LizardBreath, I'm coming in mid-thread and am a bit confused, but won't Buck be very disappointed to learn this?

To quote the last line of Some Like It Hot:
Nobody's perfect.

Ha! I was going to ask if you had eloped with Lydia Bennett. Clearly that wouldn't have got me anywhere.

A W. also jilted Marianne. Interesting that W. was the hero in Persuasion. Does he have more in common with the other W.'s or with Brandon/Darcy?
