[Zag]

Are you the quarterback with the most Super Bowl victories in this millenium?

[Quailman]

General 4: Were you known for holding political office? NO

Stumper: Are you the title character of "Oh My Goddess"? No idea

I am not Tom Brady?

[Lepton*]

[Zag]

Tom Brady is correct. (I knew it was an easy one.)

Sticking with the theme: Are you a line-backer who had a stroke during the off-season, but eventually recovered enough and became an active player once again?

[Quailman]

Stumper: Were you Posh Spice? I am not Mrs. David Beckham

Are you a line-backer who had a stroke during the off-season, but eventually recovered enough and became an active player once again? No idea.

[jesternl]

Are you known for your architectural designs, specifically the geodesic domes? You also have balls named after you

[Quailman]

The letter is B, not F. Bucky Balls are named for Buckminster Fuller, who I am not.

[jesternl]

Richard Buckminster Fuller. I always assumed he had a double last name.
the point is moot either way, since you knew

[Scurra]

Are you a character who keeps being cut out of adaptations of The Lord of the Rings*?



*for understandable reasons, despite being quite important to the development of the story although most people don't seem to appreciate this (sigh)...<gets off high horse>

[ralphmerridew]

Chair throwing: Steve Ballmer

[jesternl]

Baryshnikov is correct, any spelling even remotely close would've bene accepted.
Do you have an albino feline fetish? Ernst Stavro Blofeld?

The oracle of Omaha is of course Warren Buffett. Too bad no one guessed that.

Shine on, You crazy Diamond is about Syd Barrett, original Floyd member who went stark raving mad.

Thanks, Jesternl. Spot on of course.

Another General to think about. Waiting for my first one to be answered.

Thanks 3iff - Ronnie Barker is correct of course..

[3iff]

PuzzleScot: Did you co-star in a series with Ronnie Barker, but die young, and not see your daughter achieve hollywood acclaim?


Richard Beckinsale (Kate Beckinsale). Knew the answer as soon as I saw the question and then just couldn't think of the answer...then got it while walking down the stairs discussing something entirely different.

[3iff]

General: Were you considered to be European?

I can clarify the question if required.

[Quailman]

General 8: Were you considered to be European? NO

[PuzzleScot]

Richard Beckinsale was correct.

General: Was your career associated with the arts?

"3iff: Are you a great train robber recently released from prison on compassionate grounds?" That'll be another Ronnie - Ronnie Biggs.
(I'm guessing you're British 3iff, and we could be winning Generals all night between us )

stumper: Were you the first person to fly across the English Channel?

[3iff]

PuzzleScot: Yes, I am. Also as our host banned non-American sports I'm guessing he's not a Brit...but I might be wrong. I don't always set British questions though...and I'm off home in 20 minutes!

General: Did you conduct the first human heart transplant?

Stumper: Were you the spokesman for Bugs Bunny?

[Lepton*]

Quailman's American, but does injustice to most of our negative stereotypes about yankees.

Thanks ralphmerridew! General: Are you best known for contributions in the fields of engineering, technology, or science?

Stumper: Will your character be killed by Ron Weasley's mother?
