Wow! I was the toughest of the bunch!? Cool!

I tried to make it not that obvious (although a couple people proved me wrong on that one), but not so obscure that you would be bleeding from scratching your scalp. Maybe a forehead bop with the palm of your hand when the reveal happened, but otherwise…

Congrats to all!

When I go back and re-read all the entries (now that I know the answers) I think “Duh! Why didn’t I realize that immediately?!?” I guess hindsight really is 20/20

Sandra – I guessed Brutus after I read Annabel’s first post and thought to myself, “That sounds a lot like Julius Caesar but it couldn’t be, because Caesar is in my book,” and then as soon as she re-edited her posts I figured it out. I knew there were a few Amelia Earharts but the toughest of the bunch had to be Man o’ War. I mean, a horse? I never would have guessed a horse.

Did you guess any of them? I’m feeling a bit…mentally challenged…because as it turns out, I’m no detective.

I too followed blogography… and it was genius! Dave, you definately earned this one.

I read them all every day, too, but certainly couldn’t have done it without Bloglines.

And yes, I am three-fourths immortal.

Nicole – Maybe “personal connection” is the wrong phrase. But, what I am trying to convey is that when I read those six blogs over the course of a week they engaged me personally. That’s not to say the others weren’t as good or better — but just like in The Lost Blogs…some people may love the Jesus entry and others may love the Abbott & Costello. What people gravitate to is all based on who they are as a person.

That’s what I meant.

Thank you, Pauly D! I am both shocked and honored.

There were so many talented bloggers participating, and I am thrilled to have met (virtually, anyway) you all and discovered some new daily reads.

But I’m wondering — what was this personal connection you have with Helen of Troy? Are you an adulterous Greek woman whose unparalleled beauty started a war? Or are you half immortal? I never knew that about you!

I thought WFME was alot of words, but WDIHTFTGL tops them all.
