Let's Play Who Wants to Be A Millionaire - Night 8

Come join us from New York for Who Wants to Be A Millionaire, night eight

Hall of Fame:
-Slam (Million dollar winner)
-TheCalvinator24 (Million dollar winner)


The Life Lines

Ask The Audience - Everyone who is watching the game posts what they think the answer is and the contestant picks which one he wants (or if no one posts in 10 minutes, I will allow the the contestant to use a 5 minute google search)
Phone A Friend - One bored member of the contestant's choice post's what he thinks the answer is.
50:50 - Same as Show
Switch The Question - This life line becomes available after the 25,000 dollar question is answered correctly.

Image

obvious rules: Unless you use a life line all of the answers to these question must come from your own knowledge, we are on the honor system. Why would you want to cheat anyway, you don't win any money. Plus these questions are supposed to be hard there is no shame in getting just one wrong.

In my poll about whether I should make this game be Super Millionaire, I got mixed results. 3 voted yes, 3 voted no.

Fastest Finger Question

Put these wars in chronological order starting with the earliest:
A. Crimean War
B. Civil War
C. Gulf War
D. World War II

I really can't because I have to leave in a couple of minutes. Son1111 has basketball practice and daughter1111 has marching band.

Then I have to cook dinner and carve a pumpkin.

If it comes out okay it may be my next avatar.

Ok, then. So I guess I'll just let someone else play.

Does anyone want to take her place?

Sorry if I messed anything up.

I would play, but I have to leave in 10 minutes.

Thanks for the opportunity, though. It's fun to read the thread afterwards.
Enough already. It's my fault! Get over it!

That'll be $10, please.

wow, I guess I picked one of those busy days for everyone.

Anyone at all, even if you already played before (but didn't win a million)?
