> Well I'll be! OK, here we go. Name the actress who served as the straight woman in seven Marx Brothers' movies (memorably as the wealthy, widowed love-interest of Groucho)?
Should I give a clue? Or change the question?

Is Googling cheating?

> Margaret DumontYou are correct. Since you knew who I was talking about, I won't consider Googling cheating. I just love watching Groucho doing his shtick with Margaret Dumont!

In honor of the 100th anniversary of Einstein's "Miraculous Year" of groundbreaking discoveries... for what did Einstein win his Nobel Prize?

You didn't. Sorry you feel the "last post of death" syndrome.
Probably I did, but I haven't had the last questioner confirm my reply as correct.

In reply to I'm just going ahead with question # 9, posted by Larry Hoover on May 22, 2005, at 20:54:49
While all dogs are relatively closely related to the wolf, my guess is the Ibizan (f), an ancient breed. If true, has this genetic proximity been confirmed through DNA, Lar?

The Ibizan that presently exists was shown to be a re-invented breed, no more than 200 years old.
Yes, this was a major study of genetic drift in dogs.
So, f is wrong. We're down to five breeds.

Actually, the German shepherd was unrelated to all other shepherd-type dogs, and had closest affinity with boxers and mastiffs.
Down to four.

I prefer to think of it as a well-written question, rather than as a tricky one.
But then again, I knew the answer.

It would be the chihuahua, as it's a natural breed and all.
