No, I don't mean Vlad the Impaler, though I knew someone would guess that.

I don't think anyone's going to get this one, and anyway, it's Kumabjorn's turn to supply a question, so I'm going to flip the cards over and reveal the answer.

Although he was successful in many other roles, the real reason why his portrayal of Dracula was particularly apt was that his life—like the undead vampire he played on screen—spanned several centuries; in Lederer's case, three. He was born on November 6, 1899 and died May 25, 2000. |

Morning has arrived, questions galore.
What did Isaac Newton request as a parliamentarian? How is Oscar Wilde and Bram Stoker related? What is Seamus Heaney's market share of poetry sold by living pets in the U.K.? What nation has been condemned to death for heresy? How did Stalin test his shamans? |

Looks like there wasn't much interest in my questions. Stichawl got one so over to him.

The questions were interesting, but perhaps too difficult for many of us?
What are the answers? |

Ahh, wouldn't that be a little too easy. No pain, no gain.

In his first speech in Parliament, it is said that Isaac Newton asked for a window to be closed. Bram Stoker married Florence Balcombe, who was once Oscar Wilde's intended. I'm not sure I understand the question about Seamus Heaney. 100%? The heresy question has been answered. Stalin had Shamans thrown out of helicopters. |

They were all available on the Internet, I see. Seamus poetry is two thirds of all poetry sold in the UK by a living poet.
