Man Walks the Length of the Amazon

This story took my eye today, but I have to ask...why? Englishman Ed Stafford has walked the length of the River Amazon and it took him 859 days! A fantastic achievement, but how does it further the human condition? It strikes me as a pointless exercise - rivers are for sailing/rowing/floating on! I applaud people who explore and find new places/things, but stunts like this are, ultimately, meaningless to all except the participants!

Your Tuesday questions are:-
  1. Former England rugby union captain Lawrence Dallaglio was born today in 1972 and played his entire career with which club??

  2. Ronnie Spector (right) was born today in 1943 and was the lead singer with which 1960's pop group?

  3. Who was born today in 1960 and provided the voice for Puss in Boots in the "Shrek" films?
Yesterday's Answers: 1. Edward VII; 2. Tippi Hedren; 3. Gerald Ford
