Well, since we're very good with this whodunnit thing, I decided to launch this little game here.
It's pretty simple. I am someone (person, cartoon, book character, whatever) and everyone else can have a guess at who I am.
The one who guesses it has the next round, and we'll try to guess on him/her.
I hope this works. :-)
To start, I'll give you all one hint: I'm a real person.

Interesting. I started running down a list of Britain's queens back then and realised that most of them weren't actually from Britain.

Matilda/Maud? (as in Henry I's daughter, fought civil war with Stephen)

Elizabeth Woodville? Anne Neville?

Was she a British princess who married into another country?

Did she die more than 750 years ago?

Was she English? Welsh? Scottish?

She died longer than 750 years ago.

She is ''British'' however isn't English, Welsh or Scottish though lived in what is now England.

Boudica?? (Y'know, the Saxon [I think] queen who took on the Romans and won?? (Sorry if my spelling's a bit off. ;-)

Really?!?! O.o

Whoa. Wasn't expectin' that one. But THANK YOU, Lady Ruby and Danny!! That was an interesting choice. ;-D

Okay, folks, here we go: ;-)

Starting hint:

This guy's a real hometown hero.... ;-D

Hometown hero? Does that mean he's American?

Is he Clark Kent?

Is he real or not real?

Jun-25-2013 21:18

Yes, he's American. No, he's not Clark Kent. And yes, he is a real person. Good start, Lady Emily. ;-)

Ok...

Sports? Actor? Politics? Scientist? Army? Firefighter? Author? Activist? Singer/Muscian? T.V Presenter? Cook?

Hometown heros I can think of:

Steve Bushemi: workd with the NYFD and when 911 happened worked alongside fellow firefighters without press.

Ty... : builds homes for people in need on Homes: Extreme Makeover.

All your hints are such teasers, guys...I'm usually really obtuse when faced with clues like that. But, for now, Emily's got it covered, like always :)

ok, answers here we go.
you didn't score any direct hits but yes, our guy DID:
-write several books (some of which you may have even read)
-serve in the army (US)
-work as a teacher (people used to line up around the block to attend his classes)
-work as an activist (especially for the environment when it wasn't really the glamourous thing to do)
-present a couple of tv shows, even though the shows weren't about him


but i'm sorry you still have NOT hit on our guy's main field of work.


he is NOT:
Clark Kent
Steve Buscemi (sp?)
Ty Pennington
in sports (except in college i think), acting, politics, science, firefighting, singing or playing music, or cooking

Happy Hunting! L
