Question 4 was easy for me. I've heard of Stiller & Meara (they did commercials for wine back in the 80's, I think) and I've seen some of Ben's movies (the Night at the Museum movies are funny!)

Question 5-who knows THAT?? I'd JTQ here.

Question 6-I know zilch about tattoos-only that they are popular with celebrities. I'd ATA.

Question 7-another easy pop culture Q for me. I think I read this in People magazine.
