The valet also acted as assistant to the botanist, and the botanist named the flower. Apart from that, no.

Yes, something was going on there...

You're on the right track. Keep going.

I'll be offline for the next hour. If anyone gets the answer in the meantime (you'll know if you have), go right ahead and pose a new question. If not, I'll be back with clues.

Edited to add: just saw your latest, Mountain Lion. Yes, you're right. Keep going, though.

Still need the claim to fame.

She was the first woman known to have circled the globe.

Shayne Parkinson · 03-08-2011, 09:33 PM

Yes! Well done.

"Jean Baré" turned out to be Jeanne Baré, botanist Philibert Commerçon's "valet".

Over to you, Mountain Lion.

How much money was paid to the creator of the NIKE Swoosh symbol when it was designed?

poohbear_nc · 03-09-2011, 11:10 AM

Hmmmmm...... guessing they underpaid a wage slave in the graphics department ...

$500?

WT Sharpe · 03-09-2011, 11:11 AM

I'm going to guess $30.00.

poohbear_nc · 03-09-2011, 11:13 AM

$19.95

WT Sharpe · 03-09-2011, 11:15 AM
