Some will be tempted to pronounce my name with the "foreign a" vowel. In
one job I commissioned a famous series of anatomically correct wax
figures, NTTAWT. I held an oxymoronic position in society and was the
first to observe an oxymoronically named substance, though Northern
Europeans got the credit (because of bias?). I got in trouble by
sympathizing with the wrong side in the Post-Bastille period, but lived to
an age similar to Ron's present age. I died of a fall in the street (or of
a stroke [according to other sources]). Who am I?

If you put your Cormo between two of your previous sheep, will the
combination qualify as a sandwich?
