The questions range from literature, history, movies, music, sports, nastalgia, and general areas of knowledge. Be specific as possible and quote the question you are answering. Whoever answers it first gets the question and I will put the answer under the question in the OP in bold along with he person who answered it first correctly after a while and people have a chance to correct it if its wrong. Google will be your friend, but do not expect to be able to copy paste the whole question.
