[Kazoo65]

1. easy.

2. I'm glad I have a good vocabulary. I knew this one

3. easy. Buddhists believe in reincarnation.

4. easy. I've heard this before.

5. easy. The training center is in Colorado Springs.

6. I was surprised she knew this one. I thought she might need a lifeline.

7. easy.

8. easy geography

9. another easy one. I remember seeing the poster when the movie came out way back in 1982.

10. easy. When this came up, I knew the answer without having to see the choices. I was wondering when they would get around to asking this.

11. OK, I went to Catholic school, so I knew A and B are official titles for the Pope, but I was torn between C and D. It's lifeline time. I'm not sure if the audience would know, so I probably use JTQ-unless my Plus One is up on religion.
