Sorry for the delay, it was the work of the villains.

1. Wikipedia: "The term flapper in the 1920s referred to a "new breed" of young women who wore short skirts, bobbed their hair, listened to jazz and flaunted their disdain for what was then considered "decent" behavior. The flappers were seen as brash in their time for wearing makeup, drinking hard liquor and smoking." (all your answers are correct)
2. Robert Redford
3. The lost generation
4. Rudolph Valentino
5. The Charleston
6. The Tramp (Little Tramp, the Vagabond)
7. Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks
8. Paul Whiteman, Bix Beiderbecke, King Oliver, Louis Armstrong, Sidney Bechet, Duke Ellington, Rudy Vallee, Fletcher Henderson (Bud Powell, Billie Holiday, Thelonious Monk and Django Reinhardt were later)
9. Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett
10.The Jazz Singer

Bonus: Francis Scott Fitzgerald

And the winner is... Breitkat!

In honor of our resident pirate aficionado, Jroepel, (who also got hijacked by said pirates yesterday, ironically enough), the following is for him. YYAARRRR!!!!

YO HO HO AND A BOTTLE OF HUH??

1. Where does the word 'pirate' ultimately come from?

2. What's the difference between a pirate and a corsair?

3. Name 3 pirates who existed IN REAL LIFE.

4. Where do we get the term 'Jolly Roger' from?

5. True or False. There were no female pirates in recent history, because they believed having women on board a ship was bad luck.

6. A buccaneer was a pirate from the 17th century, but came from which countries?

8. True or False. Walking the plank was a common execution method used by pirates.

9. Name two weapons commonly used by pirates (be specific, please).
