4. You can only post answers ONCE for the same quiz.
5. No cash involved. Just glory. :)

Yay I had a few right! Darn Blaise for winning though. grrrr.

You're right, jstk.dn, I should have procclaimed the winner, but I always have difficulty saying "and the winner is..." I like it to be a team work as it in fact is. And I'm not sure about the rules. The original ones said the winner is the person with most correct answers, and now it seems to be the person who supplies the last correct answer. If the first is the case, then you are the winner, and if not, Joshua wins. As you invented this quiz, I leave the verdict to you.

I think one of the people that successfully climbed Mt. Everest was the sherpa named Tensing.

I'm confused about Seamen as he doesn't really look like a porn star...

And as for your question about the lake I only know the Dutch word for it (stuwmeer).

And as for your bonus question, you're Top-5 of what exactly?
