1. Tour de France
That's what I would expect of a guy named after a French king.

2. Isn't he Jack's brother?
JACK ARMSTRONG
One of the first and most memorable juvenile adventure shows, Jack Armstrong, The All-American Boy was created in Chicago by the advertising agency Blackett-Sample-Hummert and writer Robert Hardy Andrews. Broadcasting the show from WBBM/Chicago, CBS launched Jack Armstrong on July 31, 1933.

The show centered on Hudson High School student Jack Armstrong and his friends Billy and Betty Fairfield. From 1933 to 1950, the trio joined Billy and Betty’s Uncle Jim for a series of globe-trotting adventures. During the 1950-51 season, Jack became a government agent and the show was renamed Armstrong of the SBI.

Sponsored for many years by Wheaties, Jack Armstrong transformed the “Breakfast of Champions" into a major marketing phenomenon. Uncommon objects which figured into the show’s current storyline would likely be offered as a "premium" to listeners who mailed in a dime and a Wheaties box top.

14. His profile says Berlin, Germany...

... which would explain why he's an Ulrich fan.

Also explains why he didn't get the Louie Armstrong joke.

Anyway, welcome to DU Andre! How are things in Berlin?

"Ich bin ein Berliner" :)

9. Exactly! It's Neil, not Louie. Louie Armstrong is not a cyclist
He's an overweight comedian who used to host "Family Feud". Jeez, when are people going to get their facts straight before posting?
