[Coyote]

Did you use a pendulum to show the earth's rotation?

[Agamemnon]

Coyote old bean, I am not that French Foucalt(sp) chap.

[Hitchhiker]

Did you go around the world in eighty days?

[Fat Man With Butt Plug]

Hitch old chum, I am not Phileas/Philleas/whatever Fogg.

[Agamemnon]

Same as the above, but without the alter ego.

~Pah! Damn Gator®~

[Chuck]

Did your aircraft company build The Red Baron's triplane?

[Agamemnon]

Chuck old fellow, I'll guess on Fokke/Focke (as in the Fokke/Focke Wolf Junkers 87/88 mould)

[Chuck]

Nope, it's Anthony Fokker.

Are you currently alive?

[Agamemnon]

I am not alive

[The Cruciverbalist]

Are you the lawyer from Harper Lee's most famous book?

[Quailman]

Stumper: Have you ever spent a considerable amount of time hiding out in a Dutchman's attic?

[Dragon Phoenix]

Aaaahhhhh, music questions allowed.....

Stumper: are you the British composer of inter alia a clarinet concerto and a cello concerto?

[Duphrates]

Stumper : are you the Berlin born painter who's works include 'Girl With A White Dog'.

[Agamemnon]

The Cruciverbalist: Pah! to fiction, take a general.

Quailman: Pah! to you too, though I'll throw in 'Frederick' as a guess.

Dragon: Pah! once more........er?......Fleming perchance?

[Agamemnon]

Duphrates: Painters, hate them as much as fiction, 'Fritz' maybe?

[Dragon Phoenix]

Gerald Finzi

General: were you born before 1900?

Stumper: are you the Irish composer credited with the invention of the nocturne as a piano piece?

[Duphrates]

Lucien Freud

I'm sure you're going to kick yourself with Quail's answer

General : Are you male?

[Dragon Phoenix]

[Duphrates]

Stumper : Are you the French composer who's most recognised piece would be 'Pavanne'?

*Expects DP to argue the point, but it's the only piece I've heard by him*

[Agamemnon]

were you born before 1900?
Yes.

Are you male?
Yes.

Dragon: That was John Field, and I never liked his music either.

Duph: More commonly know as 'Pavane', composed by Faure. Personally, I prefer 'Fauré's Requiem'.

~Takes another look at Quail's stumper, shakes head, looks bewildered, falls off chair~

[The Cruciverbalist]

Mine, for the record, was Atticus Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird.

And isn't Around the World in Eighty Days fiction?

[Quailman]

Anne Frank hid in an Amsterdam attic from the nazis during World War 2. They eventually found her. Although she died in a concentration camp, her diary was later published and became a bestseller. It's also been made into a movie.

General: Are you European?

[The Cruciverbalist]

General: Are you a political figure?

[Agamemnon]

Pah! to Quail. I actually placed that as a stumper a few months ago too. Funny how questions look different when asked from someone else.

As for 'Around the world in 80 days', never read the book, but I've seen the film twice.
(In case you ask, I've only seen part of 'To kill a Mockingbird')

Are you European?
Yes.

Are you a political figure?
No.

[Beartalon]

Stumper: Were you the star of the Canadian miniseries "Anne of Green Gables"?

[Agamemnon]

Bearty old chum, Canadian what?......Take your Canadian miniseries and shove it..........Sorry, er? erm? Foster?

[Quailman]

Stumper: Were you America's first openly gay congressman?

[Agamemnon]

Quailman: What can I say! Franklin?

[Quailman]

Nope. It was Barney Frank, first elected in 1987.

General: Were you born before 1700?

Stumper: Are you a Welsh jockey-turned-novelist?

[Agamemnon]

Frank/Franklin, close though

Quail old bean, he be Dick Francis. Knew that from the jocky bit.

Were you born before 1700?
No.

[mathgrant]

World's Easiest Question:

Are you a movie's title chess player?

------------------
GL DPWestley: I had my backspace key removed and a beverage dispenser pur in it's place. See? I can't go back and fix "put."

Hum...

Let's try the usual rabbits tactic.

Stumper: Are you the famous mathematician who designed a model
of the reproduction pattern of rabbits ?

[Quailman]

Stumper: Do you have a unit of capacitance named after you?

[Dragon Phoenix]

Field is correct ( as is your assessment of his quality, and I agree with Fauré's requiem being his best composition).

Anyway,

Stumper: are you the most famous Belgian classical composer?

[Agamemnon]

Mathgrant: All I can think of is Bobby Fisher

Leonidas: Know him well, had dinner with him last night, Pah! Feldman? As a wild guess.

Quail: Faraday

Dragon: I would say Franck

[Duphrates]

Stumper : Are you the film in which Frances McDormant (sp?) won an Oscar?

[Agamemnon]

Duph: Duh! Not a clue.....Fonda, Finch, Freeman, Furst, Falk, Pah! I'll throw Morgan Freeman in as a guess.

[Duphrates]

Are you the Film

or have I got this game wrong?

[Quailman]

It's supposed to be a person, not a thing.

Stumper: Are you an actor who often protrayed a sot because you were one yourself?
