I can only think of so many "I" names myself. Your Little House one was the only one I could think of* even before you posted it.


* other than my guy, of course.

Yes, Irene is the one, though she does hail from a mother with an I-name and has a daughter with an I-name. If I were particularly cruel, I would ask a question about them.

General: Are you real?

stumper: Are you a hyperbolic representation of Jerry?

haha, Qman, you made me think of an answer to one of your unanswered stumpers.

Carey's name was Stanley Ipkiss (sp?) in The Mask.

Not Isaac. That sacrifice actually got canceled at the last moment (and to my knowledge Abraham never lied to Isaac about why they were going to the mountain). Though that would have been a good intermediate one.

I don't know any Ickis, but a quick google search says that one's wrong too...

Anyone want to answer Scurra's? I passed on it because I couldn't think of it at the time, but now it occurs to me what filicide means (and it doesn't involve brothers).

Clearly, as described above, Scurra's is Isaac.

By the way, does "answered incorrectly" mean it's out of the running? I don't recall the rules on how many times the peanut gallery gets to guess; I'll spoil if it's out.

I recall only one guess from us peanuts to avoid guessing.

This is a tough letter. I keep falling into a rut thinking of first names.

You said it! Io was one of the only two I's I could think of, and I really only asked my question as a joke, anyway. The other one is a video game character commonly featured in YouTube Poop videos (of which I am a huge fan); probably no one would know the answer if I asked it. Actually, strike that -- I just now thought of another one (because I'm watching the show right now), but it's probably easy:

Are you one of the people on the television series Mythbusters?

Before I re-read the question I almost said I am not Iapetus, but that's more than two letters and circles the wrong planet.

I get one try on the stumpers, and if I miss it, you guys get only one try.

That's Kari. She wore it on her shirt, even. Also, the answer to mathgrant's question is Grant Imahara.

for some reason, I was thinking filicide was killing a sibling...what is killing a sibling actually?

Maybe I made my stumper too esoteric sounding, hrmph.

Holy crap! I got a general! And by using someone who has the same name as me!

I'm never good at these intellectual-type games. I suck at everything which is a remotely intellectual pursuit. I just do logic puzzles. *nudge*

General question: Are you best known for your contribution to sports?

This doesn't affect the outcome of the game, but I was just informed that Io wasn't a god. This means that the question I asked was invalid to begin with.

Man, I really suck at intellectual pursuits. Now you know why I'm not trying out for Jeopardy!. Felicitous

I don't think I'll ever know why you don't try out for Jeopardy!.

I think that killing a brother is fratricide. Killing a rich college kid is fraticide.

To business:

I am quite certain that Alan Iverson was one of the youngsters on the 2004 Dream Team.

Yeah, I confess that I had to look up "filicide" to make sure that it was what I thought it was. I was amused to discover that "fratricide" does cover killing your sister as well, although it feels as though that ought to be something like "sororicide".

And rats, the David Bowie q has been used. That was one of the few I had left...
