Dead or Alive? Game 11 12/11/07

Identify the following people as Dead or Alive. Then see if you can guess the theme. My notes had today’s theme as one word.

1. Robert Adler
2. John Logie Baird
3. Tim Berners-Lee
4. Buckminster Fuller
5. Dean Kamen
6. Hedy Lamarr (NOT Hedley, dammit!)
7. Erno Rubik
8. Ma Jun
9. Jacques Cousteau
10. Chester Carlson

Although you’re not allowed to use sources outside your own brain to play the game, I hope you’ll go back after playing and look up some of these folks, if you’re not already familiar with them. I learned more today than I think I ever have from putting together one of these games.

Some of the names I know are people who I know hold (held?) patents, so since you said the category could be summarized in one word, I'll say inventors.

If it's only one words, it must be inventors. And I used the Hedley reference in a post yesterday. Are you sure we're not reading each other's mail? Ha!

I'll have to say they're all inventors. Adler invented the TV remote. Baird invented TV. Berners-Lee invented the Internets (sorry, Al). Fuller invented the geodesic dome. Rubik invented (what else?) the Rubik's Cube. Cousteau invented scuba gear.

Lots of guesses here.

Having seen a naked picture of Hedy Lammar, and Cousteau in a wetsuit, I'll guess people who looked pretty good naked at one time. And invented stuff.

1. Robert Adler Dead earlier this year
2. John Logie Baird Dead
3. Tim Berners-Lee Alive
4. Buckminster Fuller Dead, although still a verb
5. Dean Kamen Alive, though the Segway is barely breathing
6. Hedy Lamarr (NOT Hedley, dammit!) Dead
7. Erno Rubik Alive
8. Ma Jun Dead
9. Jacques Cousteau Dead
10. Chester Carlson Dead

I included Ma Jun because I wanted to see how long a dead person could be dead and still be guessed alive (I would have flipped a coin, myself.) But he certainly invented a lot of useful stuff.
