Animal group names are difficult - some of them seem made up for no particular reason and I don't think there's an "official naming convention". Since I've already used my JTQ I'll bring down my +1 and hope we can reason it out. As it turns out, elwing got it right away (although she might not be my +1).

Q5: They loved pineapples so much they carved them on furniture legs. Which furniture my parents got as wedding present, even though theirs didn't date to 18th C. Go for it.

Q6: OK, not Corleone. Donny Brasco is more recent than Capone. I think Hill is the guy in Goodfellas? Leaves Montana

Q7: No idea. ATA, without much hope. Then probably +1, without much hope. Probably leave here.
