Who is Jeeves the guy from Ask.com?
Jeeves probably isn't an actual person. Apocrophically, in England, Jeeves was the name of a famous butler who served a large, wealthy family (He may have been a character in a book, I don't know). Hence the phrase, when you want something done, "Let's ask Jeeves". Before dropping the "Jeeves" in "Ask jeeves", their corporate logo was of a traditional English butler holding a tray of drinks, who was presumably ready to server the online user. Reginald Jeeves was a character from P. G. Wodehouse's famous books. He was a butler for Bertie Wooster, and the comic stories about the two have been made into a series by ITV. {Written by Killing Dahlia} I just though I'd put something up about Reginald Jeeves. You are correct, Jeeves isn't an actual person, but he is a character in a book. I liked the fact that Jeeves was in AskJeeves.com, it got kids interested in asking things and it gave the site a personality. Now it's like Ask.com is trying to be like google. The nice thing about askjeeves.com was that it *wasn't* like google, that it was something entirely different. Also, not many people know, but Jeeves (in every sense- ask.com, or just "let's ask jeeves") originated from the books written by P.G.Wodehouse in the 1920's, and are still well-loved today. As a Wodehouse fan, I was very disappointed to see the lovable valet go. And Jeeves was just that, a valet. Butlers worked around the house more than with the employer, and Jeeves was a valet, helping with his clothes and making his infamous concoctions for the morning after a "long night". Here's a funny quote from one of Wodehouse's books, said by Bertie Wooster, who is Jeeves's employer: : "'It beats me why a man of his genius is satisfied to hang around pressing my clothes and what not,' says Bertie. 'If I had Jeeves's brain, I should have a stab at being Prime Minister or something.'" Jeeves's first name of Reginald was not revealed until the penultimate novel in the series, Much Obliged, Jeeves (1971), when Bertie hears a "Hullo, Reggie" greeting Jeeves. The readers may have been surprised to learn Jeeves's first name, but Bertie was stunned by the revelation "that he had a first name" in the first place. If you haven't read the books (I think there are around 35 short stories and 11 novels that have the Wooster/Jeeves combination), I highly recommend it. If you're not into reading, watch the series. (Bertie is played by House!) a guy this smart would not be cleaning your house
What is the names of batman's butler?
Batman's "gentleman's gentleman" is Alfred, or more fully - Alfred Thaddeus Crane Pennyworth. I say "gentleman's gentleman" because he was always more than just a butler... he was a valet, confidant and advisor.
