  1. I didn't know how to answer the "Scientist" question. A neurologist is sort of but is more thought of as a doctor. If I said yes or no it would have set the direction so I said "he wasn't known as". Consider that a 35 yard punt.
  2. Athlete?
  3. Nice guess, your IT. Oddly I think of my father when I think of him. It was thought that it was impossible to break the 4 minute mile, after Bannister did it, several did it soon after. My father said it was because some thought it could not be done and that held them back. He said I should never think anything was impossible so I would not be held back by it. Nice thought.
  4. No ball, Europe. He was the very first.
  5. Athlete.
  6. He is not known for being a scientist.
  7. sure
  8. No. It is going to take a little bit of narrowing down,
  9. NO. Yesterday was dictators.😄
  10. I'm thinking of a person Male , dead, not American. Let's make this fast, time is running out.
  11. Yes. After I typed Vonn something struck me as it "fond memories" but I couldn't get Jackie Joyner Kersey out of my head. It took a few minutes to remember Jones. I'm thinking of a person Male, Not American.
  12. Hey the song kinda fits, but it's Marion Jones.
  13. Lindsey Vonn
  14. Is he British
  15. Bingo. Your up. On a side note, I did not expect some of the difficulty I had giving clues. I thought Julius was his uncle, turns out it was his great uncle. To make matters worse, Julius adopted him. So the clue I originally thought I would give had to be modified to something more general, "has a close relative more famous than he is." He was the first "Emperor" of Rome. He had more names than "Exiled has carp." I had one good clue left but couldn't think of a clever way to inject "August" into it. I tip my hat to Gugny for the Jesus Christ guess. He sure enough fit many of the clues. Even more odd, Augustus was thought to be a god at the time of his death.
  16. Wow, he does fit many of the clues but that is not who I am thinking of.
  17. Sorry no. Greybeard has to learn to check facts, ON EVERY CLUE. The BC clue was accurate but as it turns out, it was AD also. I should have known that off the top of my head. And that should be a dead give away.
  18. No. Who is Mussolini's famous relative? I think it doesn't fit.
  19. I started with Male, Dead
  20. Guess, away. I thought this would be a challenge but it is turning into a tougher one than I thought. He had to fight to get into his position.
  21. By title, no. He was the first to be called the title he was known by.
