Correction:

I got all dyslexic when I typed my code for SOS; it's actually:

My apologies to the people receiving this thread via telegraph.

Do I even have to answer that?

It was trademarked by Bayer as a product name back when it was used as a medicine.

From 1898 through to 1910 it was marketed as a non-addictive morphine substitute and cough medicine for children. Bayer marketed heroin as a cure for morphine addiction before it was discovered that heroin is converted to morphine when matabolized in the liver. The company was somewhat embarrassed by this new finding and it became a historical blunder for Bayer.[6] As with aspirin, Bayer lost some of its trademark rights to heroin following World War I.

Per Wikipedia, I stand corrected.

OK, now it's my turn to call shenanigans:

If you count the fact that I did in fact mention there being no official language in my answer to #5 and that the piece of paper/fabric that is laid down in the nave for a bride to walk on is called a runner in #11, I believe that gives me 6 as well... add in the bonus, and I lay claim to the victory on this one.

Not knocking Helen's excellent results, and not saying she shouldn't have the privilege of posting the next one, but...

c'mon...

Just remember who signs your paychecks, Adam... :)
