1. Don't blurt out the answer. Leave a witty remark in the comment section that paraphrases, disguises or hints to your guess. I'll judge if you were right.
2. Don't point fingers at others and laugh. ( a treat reserved for the host of this blog and yellow budgies!)
3. Don't finish the cookies!
let's go...

More interestingly, he wrote in letters that looked like a code and was referred to as Shelton's shorthand. He died in 1703, probably not of glaucoma.

Who's the man? Now of to the comment section with you and let the fun begin! HINT away!
A blind diarist should be true
ReplyDeleteAnd share only the real things he knew
For what is unseen
Should be honest and clean
While the pictured provides but a clue.
And hurray for trivia and three-toed sloths! You knew I've been waiting for both.
ReplyDeleteMAN ALIVE WOMAN.... I've SO missed this feature! BTW, I love the 3 toed sloth and had to inform my Bear that they are certainly NOT related...
ReplyDeleteOkay.
This isn't who I thought it was
In fact was miles off
I thought a maker of the Braille
Or something close thereof
Instead I had to cheat and search
With what small clues you shared
And now with answer well in hand
I hang my head and blare
I never found the cheesy part
Although I found it funny
So please a favor I request
Why'd he bury it honey?
That cheese thing stuns me, rats, dogs and beggars sure appreciated it. :)

Doug stuck, huh?! I love it!
ReplyDeleteTerry, that was so beautiful and I already know you found the right answer.
Thank you for your beuatiful contribution. See, the cheese was for teh rats to build a protetive circle around his house, fire can't get through them, becuase of all the plaque fleas. He was smart that man :)
Ariel, schmetterling is german for butterfly and my nickname on blogs everywhere is MINKA. I put the two together ;) Despite popular opinion, I am really good at math! (when it comes in syllables;)
The answer:
SAMUEL PEPYS!!!
Samuel Pepys! Of course!
