The Friday Question: 18 May 2012: a coda

Looks like people are struggling with this one. By looking for the unGoogleable I may have made it too difficult.

    As Hercules is to Kenneth

  4. JP says

    Matthew, that’s what I was waiting for. Kenneth.

    James Allen Hendrix became James Marshall Hendrix.

    John Winston Lennon became John Ono Lennon.

    And Reginald Kenneth Dwight became Elton Hercules John.

    So Marshall: Allen as Hercules: Kenneth
