Will Pitt just mentioned on Jeopardy!
:toast:

I wasn't listening to the "question", but they didn't make it sounds like a partisan sort of thing...

Don't you love the national attention? :D

1. What?!
Will Pitt was a Jeopardy question? It doesn't come on here for another hour, after the news. I'll have to be sure to tune in.

Are you sure it wasn't William Pitt the English Usurper?

4. Ah, that could have been it too...
It was something political, again I didn't concentrate but perked up when I heard the name. :D

2. There were two British Prime Ministers called William Pitt
They were father and son, and known as Pitt the Elder, and Pitt the Younger.

I was wondering that too. I had heard of the father, but not the son.

Edited on Mon Sep-29-03 05:38 PM by Kennethken
to Pitt the Elder, are you not also related to Pitt the Younger?

If not, why not?

10. I have been told
that Pitt the Younger was almost certainly gay, and sired no children. But I guess if he was related to the Elder, then so was I.
