[Pendragon]

17 is C. Auguste Dupin!Correct. The story: The Murders in the Rue Morgue Popcorn? http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/ernaehrung/food-smiley-007.gif

[Pendragon]

Isn't 17 Poe?He wrote the tale, Darlin' Darlin, he wasn't the detective! :D

[Eva Marina]

#11 Sam Spade ??

[Darlin]

He wrote the tale, Darlin' Darlin, he wasn't the detective! :D

I'm tired. I saw that after I posted. For the life of me I couldn't remember his name! Rats.

6. Spooner? Possibly? I've only seen I Robot the movie.

12. Sir Denis Nayland Smith? If my memory serves me he was also in the Master of Kung Fu comic which I used to love.

20. Charlie Chan.

[Pendragon]

#11 Sam Spade ??Quite correct, sweetheart! The worst card in the deck is the Ace of Spades, considered the "Death Card". Popcorn? http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/ernaehrung/food-smiley-007.gif

20. Charlie Chan.Two out of three. Actually, it will surprise me if anyone gets #6, but I may not be the only reader of obscure Asimov tales. I just wish my book hadn't become so water damaged I lost it and never was able to replace it.

10. Father Brown?
16. James Bond
6. The only one who comes to our mind is Hari Seldon or the chaps who tried to solve the mysteries in the Foundation series, but somehow this feels incorrect.
2. Irish nun in the 7th century? Perhaps someone from Arthurian tales and their modifications. Let's say someone from "Mists of Avalon", such as Gwenhwyfar

[smilingtearz]

why didn't i see this before... I knew the answer to the 19th one(only...:()!! HMPH!

[IrishCanadian]

Oh my goodness! I know # 14!!! i do i do i do! ... but i don't.
You know what i mean? When its sitting there ... on the tip of my toungue ... this wil bother me all day.

[RobinHood3000]

Sadly, the only person I know of associated with Hell's Kitchen is "The Man Without Fear," and he's neither priest nor gumshoe.

I daresay, I'm surprised that our skinny sleuth of 22B Baker Street has yet to appear among the answers, as he's perhaps one of the best known detectives of literature among laypeople. Perhaps...clue number 18?

[Eva Marina]

#2 Sister Fidelma

I daresay, I'm surprised that our skinny sleuth of 22B Baker Street has yet to appear among the answers, as he's perhaps one of the best known detectives of literature among laypeople. Perhaps...clue number 18?No, not #18, but Yes, Sherlock is there. I greatly scrambled the order of apperance so as not to leave clues by accident, and left none of the usual Holmes clues, or did I? It depends on how closely you follow the adventures of the Great Detective into his last bow, maybe?

[Darlin]

14. Father Dowling played by the wonderful Tom Bosley! It was the tough that threw me! I always think of him as a loveable teddy bear! More popcorn???? :D

Eeep! I think this really shows my age! :)

I'm editing because it's been noted that Sherlock is indeed in the list I'm going to take a guess that he's the beekeeper. If I'm not mistaken I remember seeing him tending to bees in a movie once many years ago. He doesn't seem to fit any of the other categories. So -

5. Sherlock Holmes?

15. Philip Marlowe? This is just a wild guess. For some reason it just popped in my head, I think he may have had an office on that floor?

Don't throw popcorn at me if I'm wrong! :D

[Pendragon]

Well, then. Is 6) from Asimov's book "Utopia"? Um, no. It's from an obscure book of short stories.

Do cartoons count? If so:

And it is not that set, no. That set has a pair of cats teaming with a detective. Hint. This author has two detectives in this list.

18. I can only think of Nancy Drew, and I doubt if she's popular enough to be THE Woman...

[Nightshade]

Actually I thoought Nancy Drew troo Robin and hes popular theyve gone and rereleaced the books,,
Thanks Pen I think I will, as long as its not sweet popcorn :D

[Pendragon]

18. I can only think of Nancy Drew, and I doubt if she's popular enough to be THE Woman...In the world of fictional detectives, so far as I know, only one has been called "The Woman". And she was called that by a very famous detective she once got the best of in a situation. Maybe that will help. Her stories are a spin-off of another detective's stories, and she wasn't created by the person who writes her series. ;)

[emily655321]

Either #7 or #19 must be William of Baskerville, from The Name of the Rose.

[Pendragon]

Either #7 or #19 must be William of Baskerville, from The Name of the Rose.Sorry Emily, but no. I've never had the privilage of reading that book, but since this is the second time someone has mentioned it to me, it might be a sign that I should read it! :nod:

Marlowe? Well, I can sort of see what you're getting at, but I don't really see it is as sounding a WHOLE lot like "Marlboro..."

[RobinHood3000]

I rather like this game, so here's a few Shakespeare characters:

1. On the basis of his name, one could say that he's a quixotic (or quicksilvery) sort of guy.

2. Big on balcony-climbing, short on brains

3. By now, I suspect he's deathly afraid of newts, frogs, bats, dogs, and walking forests.

4. His subtitle sounds like he's a boggy area in Italy.

5. This fella probably sells his wares while walking across number 4.

[Eva Marina]

#2 Romeo
#3 Macbeth

[RobinHood3000]

Bingo! :banana: :banana:

[Pendragon]

Marlowe? Well, I can sort of see what you're getting at, but I don't really see it is as sounding a WHOLE lot like "Marlboro..."There was and still is a cigerette company called Phillip Morris....Again not too close, but it got the "Philip" in anyway...

Oh, and #1 Mercutio

Exactamundo! :banana:

14. Beast Boy? (he has gills sometimes)

16. Donna Troy/Wonder Girl

[RobinHood3000]

18. Hourman

[Pendragon]

Oh oh oh, I realize who it is now!

1. JOHN HENRY IRONS, better known as STEEL (terrible movie) 18. HourmanRighto, bro! I dunno, I kinda liked the movie, but it could've been better. You want to set them make a hero move totally stink you ought to see what they did with my beloved Doc Savage. (Gag!) 2 more bullseyes. I am creating a list of literary monsters for next time. :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

[Pendragon]

You’re right, Pendragon Thor’s not DC but Marvel. Okay here’re my guesses:

2.Oracle used to be Batgirl

5. Batman and Robin!

9. Guardians of the Galaxy is Marvel isn’t it? But if you mean Guardians of the Universe (unless it’s all been changed with that crisis stuff) Green Lantern?

12. Zatanna

14. Beast Boy? (he has gills sometimes)

16. Donna Troy/Wonder GirlRighto. Universe is what I meant. The last two I will take, even though I meant two others because they fit. That makes 5. :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

Final Three Hints
Got them all! Good show!

[RobinHood3000]

10. I wonder...Jason Blood/Etrigan?

[Pendragon]

10. I wonder...Jason Blood/Etrigan?To be sure! That is the start of his transformation chant: Down, down the human desguise! Etrigan, AKA The Demon. You also got Azreal by PM as the Avenging Angel Very, very Good.
:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

17. Just as a guess...The Spectre?


He is most powerful, indeed, no?

[Darlin]

Righto. Universe is what I meant. The last two I will take, even though I meant two others because they fit. That makes 5. :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

17. Just as a guess...The Spectre?


He is most powerful, indeed, no?Quite so! That's the , er, man, being, spirit, whatever he is! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: And that completes the game! Monsters are next. Darlin, I'll do Marvel after the Monsters.... I promise!:D

16. Wendigo?
19. Yog-Sothoth!!

8. I don't suppose it's a poltergeist?

[Pendragon]

16. Wendigo?
19. Yog-Sothoth!!

Iä!#19 is absolutely correct! But no on #16. If I had thought of the Wendigo, I would have put it on the list! It's a great monster! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

[Pendragon]

8. I don't suppose it's a poltergeist?No, not exactly. It has a very specific name. Probably a lot of Jersey sports teams are named for it. Goes all the way back to the 1700's. Another HINT: Mrs. Leeds' 13th child People still report sightings today and The Pine Barrens are considered a weird place...

BTW The Marvel List is ready now... and I can always do a "Bring On the Bad Guys" from DC and Marvel... Getting ideas for new lists.... :nod:

[Taliesin]

8. Jersey Devil?
16. Did Blackwood write Carnacki stories? We checked a local spec-fic base and it told us that it was written by Hodgson.
Anyway, we noticed a story called "Whistling room" along the others there, so perhaps it?



But anyway, here is a bonus question by us: A lion, a mouse and a madman - three in one. Not a monster.

William Hope Hodgson wrote Carnacki the Ghost Finder. Blackwood wrote about paranormal detective John Silence. My bad. I always use the excuse "I'm over 40." But that's no excuse when both books are on the shelf in the hall. And The Jersey Devil has been the bane of the Pine Barrens for some time.

Robin, that’s Nightcrawler but I’m not sure if he’s # 9 or not.

[RobinHood3000]

Indeed, but Hellboy seemed most likely for number 9, so it seemed safe to write a clue for dear ol' Kurt. Besides, BAMF! is to Nightcrawler as SNIKT! is to Wolverine, and I was struck by inspiration.

[Darlin]

True. I'm still not sure about #9 but it has to be a Marvel character. Kurt's not a demon though he looks like one. Wonder when Pendragon will come to grade our answers? :)

[Pendragon]

15.) Hammer down and the thunder rolls - Thor
10.) We could call him “Bagheera”. - Black Panther?

2.) This bird is reborn in flame - Phoenix


And we repeat ours:

Going out on a limb on your mystery: Batroc, the Leaper?


Nope.
The book from which the character is a classical work of literature from 19th century.
The character can hardly be considered a villain.
And French isn't the foreign language we were talking about.

[kilted exile]

# 1 Would be carnage, right?

[RobinHood3000]

To Pendragon: Nope, but the name on this villain's affiliated rogue's gallery is indeed a Justice League Member (and a founding member, at that).

[Darlin]

Eeep! I love Spidey but it’s been so long since I read any of his comics. Bear with me while I guess a whole heck of a lot! :)

3. Electro or Shocker

4. Morbius

5. Dracula?

7. Kraven (I loved this maniacal guy!)

12. Impossible Man? (Funny dude but – second story?)

15. Puma

17. Purple & Green rooftop man – Wild guesses: Mesmero – the High Evolutionary, The Hulk, Drax the Destroyer – Fing Fang Foom – oops, he’s a dragon in purple pants. Guess that leaves out Sauron who doesn’t wear pants . . . I think. This is way too hard!

20. The Motlen Man

Nope, that's not it. Just think about the clue--it's a pun (of sorts). Don't think about it literally. If it helps, he has a funny accent.

[Pendragon]

5. Tombstone? (Another wild guess. I wasn't aware he didn't breathe so . . .)
But of course, Darlin! Since the accident with the freezing chemicals, Tombstone really has no need to breathe, his lungs are frozen (at least, that was the explaination he gave Spidey on the cartoon show). He is a dead man walking, thus his self chosen name of Tombstone. Popcorn? http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/ernaehrung/food-smiley-007.gif

[Pendragon]

Hints for Final Three

12. He might come out of a drinking fountain (so what comes out of a drinking fountain?)

14. She is the master of dark matter (at one time roumored to be Spidey's sister [The Sinister Six Trilogy, novels by Adam-Troy Castro], she took The Sandman's place in the Sinister Six when he went straight and can cut off all light.)

17. Purple & Green rooftop man (He is a cat bugular, a cape and cowl man stalking the rooftops like a wild beast on the ________.)

[RobinHood3000]

17. Is there some villain named "Prowler"?

[Samantha21]

for number 12...is it luiquid or water or sumthin of the sort

[RobinHood3000]

And don't forget my clue: he's a DC Comics Villain with a funny accent who is the nemesis of a founding Justice League Member...

He just keeps coming back...

About our puzzle: A lion, a mouse and a madman - three in one.

The first two parts of it refer to the character's name, while the second two parts of the puzzle refer to what he is like.

We think that Koa would probably get it.Going out on a limb here, I'm going to say Rasputain the Mad Monk.

[RobinHood3000]

Nope, not Mr. Mxyzptlk, although he did indeed have a funny accent in the animated series (Gilbert Gottfried--do the math :p). Try a different hero's villain...

[Taliesin]

Going out on a limb here, I'm going to say Rasputain the Mad Monk.
Closer, but not exact.
You've got the right nationality, it is indeed a Russian character.

A lion, a mouse and a madman - three in one

We don't know if anyone can speak russian, but the stems are similar (think of a character, whose first name is the Russian variant of Leo and last name is lingusitically similar to english word "mouse")

Madman is an important hint too as the character had mental illness.
And actually "three in one" part is a hint too - it refers to someone, with whom the character has great likeness of.

[Pendragon]

To end the Super-Villains here are the final two:

12. He might come out of a drinking fountain (so what comes out of a drinking fountain?) Hydro-Man

14. She is the master of dark matter (at one time roumored to be Spidey's sister [The Sinister Six Trilogy, novels by Adam-Troy Castro], she took The Sandman's place in the Sinister Six when he went straight and can cut off all light.) Obsidion

One should have been very easy...

#15 Yep, The Gold Bug (Robin's right, Taliesen just mixed up the name for the bug was a beetle) was swung from the skull tree to mark the line for the treasure of Captain Kidd

#20 Yes, the good Baron had trouble with horses, to his demise

Popcorn? http://www.smileyville.net/user/partytime2.gif

Still working on your puzzle, Talisen. I keep getting visions of an Anthony Hope novel for some reason... :p

[RobinHood3000]

Noo, not Dr. Zoom. I'll give you another hint, which should do the trick: He's Australian.


He just keeps coming back...

[RobinHood3000]

Is number 14. M.S. Message in a Bottle?
22. A-HA!!! The Pit and the Pendulum!!

[Darlin]

1. The Black Cat

3. Seems as if it could be the Black Cat too.

5. The Tell Tale Heart

6. Descent into the Maelstrom?

7. Berenice (sp?)

19. The Purloined Letter? I'm not sure if Poe wrote three stories with Dupin in them or just two.

24. The Premature Burial?

[Pendragon]

Noo, not Dr. Zoom. I'll give you another hint, which should do the trick: He's Australian.


He just keeps coming back...Yeah, I knew it was wrong as soon as I posted. I thought more about it, had the name, but I wasn't sure he fought Flash, and too tired to do the research. Captain Boomerang, mate.

[RobinHood3000]

Indeed, my friend. Captain Boomerang, the man whom we would call Mr. Defective Stick behind his back...

And another DC Villain, if you're interested...

Her smile sent Arsenal to Wonderland...

[Pendragon]

Is number 14. M.S. Message in a Bottle?
22. A-HA!!! The Pit and the Pendulum!!

#14 Yes, the guy couldn't contact anyone or make himself seen or heard as the ship rushed to the pole where people believe there was an opening to the Earth's center...

#22 To be sure! A Pendulum is what makes the tick-tock in a Grandfather clock, and it got lower and lower until it cut...

BRAVO! Popcorn? http://www.smileyville.net/user/partytime2.gif

[Pendragon]

1. The Black Cat

3. Seems as if it could be the Black Cat too.

5. The Tell Tale Heart

6. Descent into the Maelstrom?

7. Berenice (sp?)

19. The Purloined Letter? I'm not sure if Poe wrote three stories with Dupin in them or just two.

24. The Premature Burial?

#1 Quite so! Pluto was The Black Cat, the orignal one, anyway...
#3 No, something in the open, the cat was behind a wall...
#5 Yes, that's the opening line!
#6 Correct, it's somewhere near Norway
#7 True, don't worry, I can't spell either, it's Bernice.
#19 No, that was Dupin's third and last recorded case, but it is in the list!
#24 Oh, yeah! Dude almost went bonkers thinking he'd been buried alive despite his precautions!

A worthy showing! Popcorn? http://www.smileyville.net/user/partytime2.gif

Her smile sent Arsenal to Wonderland...

Isn't she called Malice?

[RobinHood3000]

Number 3: The Purloined Letter?


No, that's not who I'm thinking of. Try again, and think about the word "smile."

[Pendragon]

Number 3: The Purloined Letter?


No, that's not who I'm thinking of. Try again, and think about the word "smile."
#3 But of course! That is, to my knowledge, where we got the expression "hidden in plain sight" to begin with! Your popcorn, Sir! http://www.smileyville.net/user/partytime2.gif

I must admit I'm rusty on DC villains, I usually read novels and more Marvel novels come out than DC ones plus I can't seem to find a decent DC website. Marvel is a different story. But smiles makes me think Harlequin, which is probably wrong.

Anyway, I have a DC Villainess clue for you, Robin me lad! Her name is something which she doesn't have

[RobinHood3000]

No, not Harlequin. Think about the connection between "Wonderland" and "smile," plus any Arsenal history you know of.

[Pendragon]

No, not Harlequin. Think about the connection between "Wonderland" and "smile," plus any Arsenal history you know of.
Her name wouldn't be Cheshire? Sounds off for a villian...but?

[RobinHood3000]

Indeed, she is! Cheshire gave birth to Arsenal's daughter, Lian, of whose existence Arsenal was initially unaware.

[Pendragon]

Anyway, I have a DC Villainess clue for you, Robin me lad! Her name is something which she doesn't have Another hint Robin: You actually have two villainess to choose from. With one it's the first name, with the other, the last.

[RobinHood3000]

Indeed, I saw it. I can't think of anyone at the moment that would fit, but I'll mull on it a while. I'm sure I'll come up with something...

BUMP! http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/sehrgrosse/large-smiley-002.gif

[Pendragon]

Hopefully, giving you the initals of the stories will jar your memory just a little!

#11 The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether, one of Poe's rare satires.

#13 The Imp of the Perverse He said he was safe, if he was not stupid enough to tell on himself--so guess what he did?

#18 The Narrative of A. Gordon Pym of Nantucket, a novelette that proved prophetic, down to the name A. Gordon Pym.

#17 Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar, about the man hypnotized while dying to stave off death, with gruesome results.

#19 The Mystery of Marie Roget, Dauphin's encore, when a girl's body washes ashore.

#23 "Thou Art the Man", in which a detective plans a very nasty surprise for the guilty party.

That finishes the Poe trip. In Pace Requiescat!

Oh, yeah, a bit of triva: #18 turned out to be prophetic. It actually happened some years after the story was published to a group of people, one man named the same as Poe's title character....

Hint Robin on this: One works for Lex Luthor, one is part of Darkseid's people.

[RobinHood3000]

Alas, I'm not up on the history of either :(. The only being I know that works/worked for Lex Luthor that comes to mind is Supergirl (and that's for Lex II), and I only know Darkseid by name...

Alas, I'm not up on the history of either :(. The only being I know that works/worked for Lex Luthor that comes to mind is Supergirl (and that's for Lex II), and I only know Darkseid by name...
OK, I shall ease your mind. Lex has a female bodygaurd named Mercy Graves. And Darkseid is aquainted with an evil woman oddly named Granny Goodness. So both are named something of which they have none! Voila! :D

[Pendragon]

13. The Conneticut Yankee, or The Boss? Well, Chmpman, I will allow "The Boss". His name was "Hank", I don't recall a surname being mentioned, so I looked, and couldn't find one.

So, your shamrocks in honor of St. Patrick's Day: http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/feiertage/feiertag-smiley-007.gifhttp://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/feiertage/feiertag-smiley-007.gif

[chmpman]

Dang, I knew Hank too, but it's been awhile since I read it.

[Pendragon]

Dang, I knew Hank too, but it's been awhile since I read it.
And I need to check my brain!! I thought maybe I had put that one on the list. I didn't. #13 was Doctor Who! No wonder I was so confused when I couldn't find it! Was this on a previous list, perhaps? I'm sure I have used it before or maybe intend to use it soon. Anyway, you'd have been right on the Yankee!!!! What WAS I thinking?http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/aetsch/cheeky-smiley-025.gifhttp://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/aetsch/cheeky-smiley-025.gifhttp://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/aetsch/cheeky-smiley-025.gif

[Pendragon]

Isn't it pathetic when the guy who writes the list forgets who is on it? :blush:

[Pendragon]

#10 is offically disqualified due to the forgetfullness of Pendragon himself. It should have read P. G. Wodehouse's famous butler. I even had it written on the paper that way, and still typed it wrong. The answer is, of course Jeeveshttp://www.websmileys.com/sm/sad/1004.gifhttp://www.websmileys.com/sm/sad/1004.gifhttp://www.websmileys.com/sm/sad/1004.gifhttp://www.websmileys.com/sm/sad/1004.gif

[Pendragon]

~~~~~BUMP~~~~~

[RobinHood3000]

5. I can't remember the name...KIM?

[Eva Marina]

14) Dirk Pitt ?

[Pendragon]

5. I can't remember the name...KIM?
Ah, so close and yet so far away. Kim was a great character for RK alright. Think Jungle Book. ;)



BTW, Robin, You might like this smilie: http://www.cosgan.de/images/smilie/sportlich/p047.gif It's at this location: http://www.cosgan.de/smilie.php?wahl=0&ziel=froehlich (English button in top right hand corner.) It's under sports.

[Pendragon]

14) Dirk Pitt ?To be sure, Lady Eva! Star of some 15 Novels by Clive Cussler, the last two also starring his twin chidren. But Cussler has another Numa agent out in books, so I had to give the movie hint. In one book, Dirk ends up surfacing inside a cave being explored by people searching for clues to a lost civilization. Like I say, he ends up in the darndest places for a man who works for a sea salvage rig. ;)

Bravo! http://www.cosgan.de/images/smilie/sportlich/n030.gif

[Taliesin]

Mowgli?
He is the only character we can remember from Jungle Book.

Repeating ours:


A lion, a mouse and a madman - three in one

We don't know if anyone can speak russian, but the stems are similar (think of a character, whose first name is the Russian variant of Leo and last name is lingusitically similar to english word "mouse")

Madman is an important hint too as the character had mental illness.
And actually "three in one" part is a hint too - it refers to someone, with whom the character has great likeness of.

The writer is one of the most, not to say the most famous Russian writer.
Think of his mayor novels.
The authors' name starts with D

[Pendragon]

Mowgli?
He is the only character we can remember from Jungle Book.

Repeating ours:


The authors' name starts with DWhy of course, Taliesin! A quote from the book "Shere Khan said he would kill, would kill! In the gates of the city at twilight he would kill Mowgli, the Frog!" At his first taking by the wolves, mother wolf says she will call him "Mowgli" for he kicks like a frog, in his efforts to get milk. At the council fires he is named "Mowgli, the Frog".

For you, mon ami, I think wine would be the custom...http://www.cosgan.de/images/smilie/nahrung/a035.gif

[Pendragon]

Repeating ours with some clues:

And actually "three in one" part is a hint too - it refers to someone, with whom the character has great likeness of.

The writer is one of the most, not to say the most famous Russian writer.
Think of his mayor novels.Raskolnikov, from Crime and Punishment by Fyodor M Dostoyevsky, well he was a madman anyway. I must confess that any attempt to translate English into Russian has resulted in an alphabet that I cannot read. But when I said "Rasputain" you said something that lead me to believe that the "Ras" part of the name might refer to a lion or a king. So when you mention the author starts with D, we get Dostoyevsky, and I confess again to not knowing exactly how to pronounce "Raskolnikov" so it might sound like mouse for all I know. Anyway, mon ami, after all, Crime and Punishment is the only novel by Dostoyevsky I have actually read (I gave up on the Brothers Karamasov, since I was only guessing at a lot of pronunciations, though to my ears, Karmasov sounds more like "mouse", but there are what, four brothers? So which one? I'd never make a good linguist... ;) :nod:

The last two:

#6) The man's name is Retief.
#15) Tyrell is the youngest and fastest draw. Tell is the oldest and the one you don't wan't to make mad. Orion is the educated one, but don't sell him short in a fight unless you like lead for dinner.

and that closes the list. New one to follow.

[Pendragon]

Well, it is a book by Dostoyevski, but neither Crime and Punishment nor Brothers Karamazov.
The character is the protagonist and the book is named after him, although not by his name but with a derogative term by which he was called.
Madman refers to the fact that he had been in a sanitarium.


To your puzzles:

9. "For, although common Snarks do no manner of harm,
Yet, I feel it my duty to say,
Some are Boojums--" The Bellman broke off in alarm,
For the Baker had fainted away.
11. Random, wasn't he? We remember that someone who wasn't the brightest nail in the nailbox became king but can't recall, who exactly.
4. We associate the word "fascinating" with Havelock Vetinari because it is such a common word in his vocabulary. "Long may you live and prosper", on the other hand, we have hard time imagining him saying it.

#9) Certainly. They even named sub-atomic particles snarks. Wonder if some of them are "Boojums".

#11) Random it was, to the surprise of all because as you say, he wasn't the brightest nail in the box.

#4) Alas, no. Both these phrases are this characters catchwords, first in TV, then movies, now in novels.

#10) Yes, son of Sir Lancelot, he occupied Seige Perilous.
#12) Yep. Thank goodness for the International Date Line AND going the right direction...

15. Faust??OK, mon ami...

#8) Indeed. Good think he was a mathematics wizard. How would you have liked to try to write that poem?

#15) Yes. Faust. But the Devil got him after all. And the moral of the story is, you cannot make a deal with the devil, he always stacks the deck.
