Guesses for new set:
91. Al Gore
92. the core
93. Dead Sea scrolls - have been to the Dead Sea, and just spent 5-6 minutes looking for a photo of me reading a newspaper while floating in The Dead Sea. It is SO salty that our bodies float with ease in it. What an experience - the bottom is THICK clay-like dark gray mud, and it is very arduous getting in and out because you are sinking into that clay. It sucked Bigdog's Crocs right off his feet, and Bigdog's arms were not long enough to retrieve them because of the buoyancy, so I had to use MY ape-like long arms, and I barely re-claimed them. And, alas, I cannot find the photos. And then it was a nightmare getting that clay off our bodies.
94. hippopotamus, no idea
95. fast
96. blue
97. Gordon Ramsey
98. Manic
99. 8, probably maybe - I had to think a LOT about this, as I have ALWAYS eaten a LOT of oranges. When we emigrated to Australia in 1955, one of the best thing about those five weeks (each way) on a steamship was that I could have all the oranges I wanted and could even take a couple back to our cabin.
100. 36, says Bigdog

So Bigdog and I were trying to nut out last night the number of segments in an orange, and we decided on 8. Today, he cut up an orange for me for a snack, and he counted the segments, and told me later he counted, and it was 8!! Tangerines or clementines may have 16, don't happen to have any of those on hand right now.
Guesses for new set:
1. tennis
2. two, the regular eyelid, and the inner nictitating membrane which acts as an inner eyelid.
3. 3
4. 64 - that line seemed very poignant during my 64th year. Now it is just quaint.
5. John MeEnroe
6. straw
7. Rosemary is for remembrance.
8. Fantasy
9. Tim Curry
10. We are all going to say Norway, but we had this question on a cruise ship last summer, and didn't even have the hint of fjords and islands, so most said Canada, USA, or Russia. The answer turned out to be Sweden!! Who knew?
