Oh nooooooooooo!!!! I did a lengthy answer last night about jacaranda trees, and how the real answer is lavender blue, but the Canadian answer would likely be purple. Oh, and I don't know what else. I guess I spent so long, I once again thought that the final preview was the actual post. Oh well. I had maybe ALL of them correct!! I can't recall if I put liver or kidney for #9. Bwahahahaha!!!
Oh well, I am sure I had a good time doing it.

12. Let me see if I can remember where we lived in the 1970's, nope lived in three different cities, can't even remember if I saw it in a theater, so let's split the difference and go 1975
13. Pacific - have been there 3-4 times
14. rotation of the earth, and I was just discussing Foucalt pendulums, as one will, a couple nights ago. Thanks, Mamie, and, um, do you have a listening device in my house?
15. Gotta be Dr. Pepper, right? Second guess is Mountain Dew.
16. It has got to have something to do with either oxygenation or fat storage, but I can't reckon it out beyond that.
17. Oh, I can see him, and the god was Apollo. Maybe it will come to me. Apolo Ohno!!
18. John Lennon
19. 5th Avenue - "on The Avenue, Fifth Avenue"
