How does a pseudonym used by a very well known actress from forty years ago relate with a debate over whether it could be a 'cylindrical vessel' or a 'container with all four sides perpendicular to the base' depending on whether one takes particular note of a translation of a Dutch theologian?

Dagmar(s): aka Jennie Lewis; Dagmar was the nickname of one Virginia Ruth Egnor, a "blonde bombshell" who achieved some notoriety in 1950-51 when she appeared on NBC's "Open House" in slinky, body-hugging gowns that underscored - for no other purpose but to provoke - the lady's very ample bosom. A view of Miss Dagmar in profile leaves little doubt why the impact guards (bumper "bombs") on fifties Cadillacs came to be known as "Dagmars"! (CA 8/93, p.47). Late extra: Ms.Egnor, aka Jennie Lewis, aka "Dagmar", died at her home in W. Virginia on October 11, 2001, at the age of 79. http://www.car-nection.com/cadillacdatabase/dbas_txt/FACTD-G.htm Apr 17 08, 4:00 PM

Sorry, dear, no. Might like to use the clues in the question regarding the vessel to get this one, particularly paying attention to the humanist.... Apr 17 08, 5:06 PM

Ah! An impossible challenge...it takes a little longer. A clue already! You didn't say "humanist" the first time. So this must be Erasmus. Here's something for fun while I scratch my head: TO ERASMUS DARWIN .......... And Beauty kindles into life and love. How the first embryon-fibre, sphere, or cube, Lives in new forms,—a line,—a ring,—a tube; Closed in the womb with limbs unfinish'd laves, C:Documents and SettingsOwnerLocal SettingsTempTemporary Directory 1 for 15707-h[1].zip15707-h15707-h.htm Wrong Erasmus, but he's got a tube and a cube... Well, Peasy, you're prone to opening Pandora's box. I hope I can find the actress later. Hasta luego. Apr 17 08, 7:01 PM

Now, that was a real nose-wiggler. "Pandora Spocks" played Serena on "Bewitched." Anyone who can't figure out which actress used that name as a pseudonym can look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandora_Spocks Well, "tube" and "cube" are pretty close to "jar" and "box." (It was really a jar. Pandora Schtars?) Here's the "pithy" debate: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandora's_box Apr 17 08, 9:34 PM
