This was a semi-reminder of the old days... ugh. Walking away on that question is nothing short of a complete travesty.

Given that the bikini supposedly got its name from Bikini Atoll where nuclear tests took place, I'd go with that as my answer.

Hmmm...clocks were used as navigation aids on ships. Champagne is older than 200 years, so I'd go with "clocks" and end up with the consolation prize.

I'd have thought "death" was a good possibility as well. If I hadn't bombed out on the champagne question, I'd probably do it here.

Wikipedia says after. (Written 1930, state song in 1979).
