Trivia Night

On Saturday we had our second Tsuyama Trivia night.  The pressure was on since last time I (and my partners)  won.  Of course last time one of the bonus questions was to write in all of the US states and the final round was to sing a song at Karaoke (really, no contest).  This time was a lot more difficult.  Despite being paired up with two very intelligent guys, we came in third.  For those in the know, I was with Sean and Ben and our team name was, "We knew Lenny when..." (Sean, Ben, and I have been in Japan for a long time now and we there for Lenny's, the host of the Trivia Night, big entrance into Japan).  We would like to say that part of it was due to our team being the only one without a Japanese member, but really the other groups did well.

Anyway, here are the questions.  I won't put in the answers since they can be found online and so you can have a chance to guess for yourself.  They are out of order and I might have gotten them slightly wrong...  I also don't remember all of them...
