spoiler - gives you the simple black box-style spoiler
spoiler= gives you the drop-down reveal/obscure toggle-type spoiler. This one also allows you to add spoiler text between the = and the ].

Angelou didn't really become a household name probably until the 1990s. (IIRC, she delivered a poem at Clinton's inauguration).

Out on Q2 again. This time I just didn't know the answer. But I felt better about the process tonite. I have been really nervous and clumsy about having to rely on a cell phone (but since I no longer use a land line, what can I do?). Tonite it felt more natural and I think I won't be so worried about it from now on. At least not until I fat finger an answer I know cold.

it sounded like Fred said "Fisco," but I thought I remembered a singer whose name was Cisco (tough to look up for this exercise with that spelling!), but I don't really know him very well, so I applied the rule that if you don't recognize a name, it is probably the newest, and that turned out to be right. But who knew k.d. lang was so old? Well, most of you probably do, but I didn't.

My mistake on Q2. Correct order is 1324.hbomb1947 wrote:The Regency period refers to the time that George IV was Prince Regent during the madness of his dad, George III. This was 1811-1820.Vandal wrote:So close.

Guessed 4213 - got a Sad Fred - never heard of Regency.
It was fun to play again!
But I never would have gotten to that question; I would have been out on your Q2, because I didn't realize that Missy Elliott was older than Lenny Kravitz. And I also might have put the mercury thermometer before the cotton gin.
I still have no idea on Q5.
