1. easy if you know American history-I just read a book about John & Abigail Adams. The siege of Boston, the battle of Bunker Hill and the battle of Lexington all happened before the Declaration was signed-and were all mentioned in the book.

2. easy-a celebrity usually has an entourage.
3. ouch. JTQ for me-this movie is over a decade old! I doubt the audience will remember this detail.

Even easier if you remember that Yorktown was the battle where Cornwallis surrendered, thus ending the war. It would have to have happened last, now wouldn't it?

Had that question on Jeopardy. Thank goodness for Schoolhouse Rock:

At Yorktown the British could not retreat,
Bottled up by Washington and the French fleet
Cornwallis surrendered, and finally we had won.
(Hooray!)

A. Genesis
B. The Eagles

I see that The Dude was at the top of the stack before the randomizing. This was easy for me, as I have seen The Big Lebowski many times. The cab driver kicked Dude out of his cab after Dude complained about his headache and how he hated the Eagles, man.

The Dude came up on Jeopardy yesterday, in a category called Dude-eronomy, essentially about Dude movies (Fast TImes, Bill and Ted, etc.). Somehow, none of the contestants knew that Jeff Bridges played the character (which was the $2,000 question).

He'd like to go back to school to be an ER physician.

Our fair city has a Lebowski Fest every year - quite the thing to attend for those who are fans of the movie. The local newspaper always has articles and this is one of those factoids that gets printed. In a case of eerie coincidence J! had a category called "Dude-a-ronomy" which had a Lebowski question.
