OK I was reading an article and came across an interesting fact. This links a person to another in some via a chain. So here is a little quiz

What are the links between Lisa Simpson and Steve Jobs CEO of Apple? How are they related!

Also post any interesting links you may have for us to solve.

I...think I understand what you're describing. Though I have no clue how to connect Lisa to Steve Jobs without being exceedingly lazy. Tongue

I see two links for the moment:
- One of the first computer builded by Apple was called Lisa Gigi
- And for the link with Lisa Simpson Wink, it's maybe because Steve Jobs is a vegetarian (according to http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs (in french) and http://arts.guardian.co.uk/features/story/0,11710,1241745,00.html (in english)).

Okay, I have maybe one other link.

Steve Jobs biological parents have one daughter (Steve's little sister) named Mona. Her husband Richard Appel is a writer on the Simpsons show (here is the link in my opinion). According to Wikipedia, Appel used his wife's name for the name of Homer's mother (Lisa's grandmother).

It's not really a link between Lisa and Steve Jobs but it's a link between The Simpsons Family and Steve Jobs.

And Lo?c is correct. The point wasnt the simpson family but the chain of thinks which led to answer

Ok the chain of links:

Lisa Simpson > Grandmother is Mona Simpson > Named after writer Richard Appel's wife, who is the novelist Mona Simpson > Mona Simpson is Steve Jobs' Biological sister.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mona_Simpson_(The_Simpsons)

Add to the fact as mentioned earlier the Apple Lisa Wink

Ok anyone got any more link chains between characters or real life people, could make an interesting thread!

In fact with your little game, I learn a lot of things about Steve Jobs... For example, I didn't know that he was adopted or that he is a vegetarian.
I'm trying to think about another chain between a character and real life people but it's a little bit hard to find. Rolls Eyes

Oh totally missed that one, but I also thought about the vegetarian thing. Jobs even was a frutarian for a while! (That's why the company's name is Apple, interesting story there). Sorry, no other links that I know rhigt now.

Lisa is not similar at Steve Jobs, this guy have a lot of money a big company and bad taste in the computers, (by the use of UNIX and linux in MAC OSX) ,  Lisa very similar at "Stephen Wozniak" (old friend of steve) ,Wozniack is a philanthropist, and a guy with a gold spirit... as lisa

.... but steve jobs??? never...

We were talking about factual links, not similarities. I could start an argument about Apple's computer design and system architecture right now but I won't.
Can you say where you read aout Wozniak? I don't know so much about him...

It is true "Wozza" was the brains behind Apple, he designed the early products while steve was the businessman of apple.

He is a great man, a lot of charitable donations and even though he still is on Apple's payrol he never asks for freebies, and waits in the lines at product launches.
