Good job, BBB. It was a bit of a trick question, as Sarah Jessica Parker took over the role later and played opposite her husband which got a lot of media attention.
Hiberni and Iberia
Are the names Hiberni and Iberia actually related or is their similarity mere coincidence?
LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE RELATED:
(LINK EDITED OUT FOR PAGE STRETCHING!)
Herodotus on the Celtiberian connection between Eire and Spain:
Herodotus, around 450 B.C., reported Celts as then being in Iberia. Moreover, symbols on rocks at Clonfinlough in Central Ireland -- are practically identical to those in neolithiC cave-paintings in Spain.
RIGHT HERE:******************
The Celtic Milesians settled in Irish Hibernia from Spanish Iberia. They are described as tall and golden-haired warriors, with iron swords and "eyes like blue-bells." They sooN subjugated the earlier peoples in their own Hibernian 'New Iberia.'
**********************************
Both there and then, they confederated the various regions of Ireland under an elected 'high king' -- who could be deposed before or re-elected during the week-long national convention held every three years.#65#
MacGoeghegan explains in his History of Ireland#66# that the ancient monuments of thr Milesians evidence that the Scots were the only possessors of Ireland for many centuries before Jesus Christ. They were of Scythian origin -- even though they do seem to have
reached Ireland by way of Spain (if not priorly also by way of Egypt and/or Greece).
The very name 'Ireland' evidences its Iberian origin. Explains the famous sixteenth- century antiquarian Richard Stanihurst in his Description of Ireland:#67# "The founders of the Irish, out of devotion toward Spain, then called it 'Iberia' -- from Iber [alias Heber]
the descendant of Jubal [Genesis 4:21f & 6:1-13f cf. 10:22-25]....
For they themselves that had dwelled beside the famous river Iber-us [in Spain], named the [Irish] land 'Ibera".

Great! I'll remove the long link. It's stretching out the page.
You can always just use the URL command.
Oh, thanks, I'll try that next time. This game seems to have long links alot!
If you commute by public transportation from Washington D.C. to Boston and you are in a rotten mood and have a really bad headache and want to get away from all beepers, cell phones, noisy laptops and annoying, yacking people-- can you? If so, how?
I do believe you're talking about my fave form of public transport, the Acela train.

They have a quiet car (in theory; I've been in it when it was LOUD because there weren't enough seats and/or the conductor was too timid to insist on quiet).
Ha! The fact that you're from Boston went right out of my mind when I saw that and posted it! I thought it would take a little longer!!
I read a NYT article about that recently...but Jespah has first-hand experience!
Well, first-ear experience in any event. :-D
Here's a somewhat, uh, gamey question:
What's the etymology of the word "puke"?
Yeppers. Puke makes it first, uh, appearance <snicker> in As You Like It.
Your turn, Miss fea!
