Is this persons death relevant? Does "he went" mean that he died? Did it cause his death or did it's arrival merely coincide with his passing? For some reason I'm thinking of "I came I saw I conquered"... is Ceasar relevant? Was he from the US? Europe? Asia? Africa? Australasia? | ||

Is this persons death relevant? Yes Does "he went" mean that he died?Yes Did it cause his death or did it's arrival merely coincide with his passing? not a direct causal link...so more co-incidence than cause... but then less wouldn't make this a good puzzle would it!;) For some reason I'm thinking of "I came I saw I conquered"... is Ceasar relevant? No Was he from the US? Europe? Asia? Africa? Australasia?US | ||

Did it occur this century?no....be careful Last century?yope Earlier?yope Was the author a science writer?no Science fiction?nohistory?yes- be careful Non-fiction?a bit but not what he is known for Did the author write a report about something?no Concerning the government?no Science?no History?no Did write about a report that was issued by someone else?no he expose something?no....many of these questions may be slightly inaccurate due to the nature of the man and the age he lived in. I have tried to be as true as possible... I beg forgiveness if I have misled! | ||

Religious text?No to both Relevant if we find out cause of his death?natural causes Where he lived?This would help you identify him... Timing is important... follow up on the yopes above... the title is a cryptic link... but it was that apparently that gave it away to Peter. | ||

Is it something to do with Mark Twain's birth and death just days after sighting of Halley's comet. Halley's comet sighted, he was born days later. It was again sighted (after 86 or whatever years) and he died soon after. | ||

Emptyhead: Is it something to do with Mark Twain's birth and death just days after sighting of Halley's comet. Halley's comet sighted, he was born days later. It was again sighted (after 86 or whatever years) and he died soon after. Indeed and ... ****************** SPOILER ********************** The great American author and humorist Mark Twain always had a fascination with Halley's comet. He was born during the 1835 visit of the comet and in 1909 said: "I came in with Halley's Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year (1910), and I expect to go out with it. It will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I don't go out with Halley's Comet. The Almighty has said, no doubt: "Now here are these two unaccountable freaks; they came in together, they must go out together." He had his wish one day after the perihelion of the comet the next year Mark Twain departed this life.So... "It came, he came It went, he stayed. It came, he went!" Thanks to all who played! | ||
