"what is...?"

a final jeopardy from last week:

of course you know where this is going: i knew the answer (first AND last name) and was really proud of myself, whereas the silly jeopardy contestants did not.  i am amazing!  my ability to answer this question comes from reading two of these books in an english class in college.  an epic english class that willis and i still quote: "protestants reign supreme!"  "a stay against death!"  it was a pretty awesome class and it was the beginning of my friendship with willis, so DOUBLE AWESOME.

so...anyone know the answer?  willis: i expect you to ring in.
