[Linda/NE]

I tried answering them in my head as I read your first post. I was pretty close on most of them. I think I may have seen this somewhere before though too. A lot of them is because I heard of it before, not because I actually remember the events.

[vea29]

I was kind of annoyed at myself because when I saw the answers to some of them...I new it....but had it wrong.

Like the Nestles and Vietnam...and the ed sullivan one.
