Today's Brainteaser Answer

Whom am I? The Sleeping Beauty, a character in a fairy-tale created in the late 17th century by Charles Perrault, adapted by the Brothers Grimm, and turned into one of the world’s great ballets by Tchaikovsky. She is condemned by a fairy’s curse to die as the result of a needle prick, but the sentence is commuted to sleeping for 100 years, from which she is woken by a passing handsome prince.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
