Stump Spot - The Game

[koan]

It's time to play "Stump Spot"

The rule is simple, the game is easy to play.
Ask spot a question and find out if he knows the answer.

If he knows the answer he will write it plain.
If he had to google it he will say he googled because he was stumped - you get post "I stumped spot" in your siggie with a link.
If he can't find it on google he will write "Double Stumped" - you get to write "I double stumped spot" in your siggie.

What better reward can an FGer have than the claim to fame that they stumped spot?
Then again. Maybe spot is easy to stump.

Let's find out.

Which came first? The chicken or the egg?

Who upon returning to their native country gave an account of Elizabeth I as having teeth black and rotten due to excessive amounts of sweet wine?

Who did Henry VIII have an illegitimate son known as Henry Fitzroy with?

Which Shakespearean character exasperatedly says 'She speaks ponyards!'

Pinky, you're a wart, you know that? The only Denny I can think of is Sandy, her North Star Grassman and The Ravens was a magnificent album.

Amy Denny has me stumped, and this is only my first go at this game. I got beat first time out.

I looked her up, she was Rose Cullender's friend.

Pinky stumped Spot!

That one's easy. You go back to the mummy and daddy chicken and they were still chickens so you have to go further back. Eventually you'll reach a generation which you say "hey, that's not a chicken" and what they lay hatches into something where you can say "yep, that's a chicken alright". So you get the egg before the first chicken and the answer's an egg.

That has to be the Spanish Ambassador to the Court of... damn, I was going to say King James, how anachronistic. The Spanish Ambassador to England.

Bugger. I checked, and I'm wrong...

Paul Hentzner: A Description of Elizabeth I & her Court at Greenwich, from Journey into England. Hentzner was a 16th century German Traveller.

Pinky Stumped Spot Twice!

She was called Bessie but I can't remember her other name.

Elizabeth Blount, wiki tells me. I'm going to count that as one to me.

Their relationship lasted for some length of time, compared to Henry's other affairs which were generally short-lived. On June 15, 1519, Bessie bore the king an illegitimate son who was named Henry Fitzroy, later created a duke. After that, the affair was basically ended for reasons unknown. Soon after, the king's attentions fell upon Lady Mary Boleyn.
