Nope. I'm nowhere near as specially gifted as David Wells.

The answer was the famous writer/director from Hong Kong, Wong Kar Wai.

OK, this next stumper isn't entirely fair. I didn't even know it until less than an hour ago. I only learned it b/c my roommate recently purchased the Futurama 1st Season DVD set and I just finished watching the second episode. If this is against the rules then ignore the following stumper.

Stumper: Are you the fictional female character from Futurama who is often drawn wearing what appear to be pink sweatpants and a pink zipperered midriff baring sweatshirt?

Orbiting · very ign-o-rable

Utter cluelessness, eixdeuce. Go ahead.

WECoyote · Daedalian Member

Stumper: Are you the daughter of a famous deceased burger chain owner?

I am not Wendy Thomas.

WECoyote · Daedalian Member

I am sorry I am new to this.
I will try not make the same mistake again.

Thanks

Thank the gods for eixdeuce, however, for behold, I am Gene Wilder.
