Excellent!

This one was my favorite.

Sure. Of course, he also applied his principle philosophic belief (that diseases had a rational explanation and cause, and hence could be cured) in practice, but this was back in the day when philosophers and scientists were the same thing, after all.

Correct. An axe, him, man, dare.

So you're next, though of course there's still one to figure out, too.

fur, holder, lamp, throw
Herakleitos (hair, rack, light, toss)

Sir Jack London? I don't think he was ever made 'Sir' though
EDIT: Oh, and the theme is writers! Can I have those points? 8)

More exactly, British writers.

I also considered "Jack London" but he wasn't a British writer, and there's nothing I'm aware of that indicates he ever received a title. Unless we're looking at another "Sir Charles Shults III, OBE, BSA, SNAFU" here.

[-X Most definitely not the category. I refuse to acknowledge Oliver Goldsmith or Jonathan Swift as anything other than Irish. (Of course, they probably considered themselves both British and Irish, but it's my turn, so I get to decide! )

By the way, the list is chronological - which should help you to narrow down the missing one.

It's impossible, there are no writers between Chaucer and Marlowe! Ummm, yes, I'm Googling now, how do you know? 8-[

Last guess for this one: Sir Walter Raleigh? Fits hint one and three, don't know about two...

Great job, Eroica!

6 points for the answers plus 3 for the category (although, since there are only six New England states, "northernmost" is superfluous).

Actually, add another 2 points to that. The whole thing (including the category) was solved at once before anyone else got a single clue. Good going!

Thanks. I'm ususally not any good at these types of things (I didn't get anything in the previous two pages), but somehow those first two just jumped out at me. I have to think about what I'll post. They should be up this afternoon (within about 6 hours).

=D> Correct!

=D> Also correct!

Two to go:

• Greek old man, part of the body, character in The Simpsons
