1)The first President born in the 20th Century has to be McKinley. He was assassinated around then and his rebirth would have been first. Hotboy
2) Should be Alaister Crowley, but sounds too old fashioned.
3) Lale Pastahanesi is the Italian woman who travelled to Scotland and discovered that the Picts had discovered pasta first.
4) Suffering is caused by desire based on ignorance of your own true self. Bu t what is the question? Hotboy
will have to come back to be able to think....Happy Wednesday, love me and the margaritas... sweet dreams!
I say!
Well, HotBoy, you'd have to prove that McKinley was reincarnated, so that wasn't the answer I was looking for.
With respect to question 3, the answer, which I don't think anyone will get, is that Lale Pastahanesi was the original name for the Pudding Shop. So the supplementary question is - what is the significance of the Pudding Shop in travel history?
The answer to question 2 is someone who is a very well-known author.

Mingin! Okay! The answer to question 1 is JFK.
2) Was the Pudding Shop the house of ill repute visited by Richard the Lionheart before he set off on the crusades? Hotboy
I say HotBoy!
1. Correct. JFK.
2. You are close, but out by a millenium or so. The Pudding Shop was the cafe in Istanbul that hippies congregated in before setting out overland on the trail to Kathmandu. Our mutual friend, the Lone Ranger, will be familar with the establishment.

Mingin! Well, who is the very well known author then? Hotboy
Walt Whitman
Hey MMIII!
