That would have been Wowbagga the Infinitely Prolonged, if I'm not mistaken. I always wondered how he managed to do it in alphabetical order. After all, presumably Zeke Zobitsky of Zagreb could have had time to be born and died while he was still working his way through all the A's...

Skiffle: you won 15-1? *impressed* Now, that's cool. One of my teachers was on it, but lost very badly. Still, one of my friends won stuff on Wheel of Fortune.

a friend of the family paid his way through medical school with his winnings from Jeopardy and $100,000 Pyramid. He went back to Jeopardy for the Tournament of Champions and totally bombed. Smart guy though. Fun to play Trivial Pursuit with!
I wanted to go on'Catchphase' but ended up on 'Wipeout', I don't talk about that much, because I did badly. but I have got a nice glass paperweight. I also got a t-shirt big enough to be worn by two average sized people at once.
Someone once observed of Isaac Asimov that the way to tell if he was dead would be to put under his nose, not a feather, but a typewriter. Asimov's rejoinder was that the feather would tell if he was dead, but the typewriter would tell if he'd been dead for at least three days.
