Re: A prize question (none / 0)

OK, I'll make it easier (much easier):

I am thinking of a person who became famous for what he did years later, and one who is not European.

Re: A prize question (4.00 / 2)

Though whether or not this person was European at the time is a matter of interpretation, isn't it?

Re: Lousy joke ? (none / 1)

I just realized however that it wasn't Sleeping Beauty who slept for a year with the seven dwarves, but Snow White. Awww what the hell, they both were sleeping, how could I have possibly known???
