1. She wasn't a prostitute, she was a "sex worker"
2. Poorly hit
3. I know where it is, but who the heck is buried there?
4. "Vicchysoise" was the nickname for Napoleon's personal valet. His given name was Herb Rosenkrantz.
5. The Coca-Cola company and Bank of America are branches of Congress. Therefore, naturally, they're headquartered in Sioux City, SD. "125th and Park" is what I was told to do last time I asked where I could put the car in Midtown. "P.O.P" stands for Purported Otter Parts.
6. The late, great Buddy Hackett, Ken Lay, Moose Skowron, Cantinflas.
7. Marilyn Monroe, if memory serves.
8. Ian Fleming's is the only one I can think of.
9. Bernstein/Sondheim (had to go legit on this one)
10. On land.

POP was one hell of a roller coaster at Pacific Ocean Park - aka Palisades Park in CA. Old and shaky by today's standards, but it was the biggest in the world for quite awhile

Great job everyone, especially glad to know that there are others in this world old enough to remember Pacific Ocean Park.
So far here are the "correct" (I made up these questions so sometimes I'm wrong) for example I forgot about David Niven!! Great one!
1.The "sex worker" was Donna Reed.
2. Home Run!! (this question I stole from trivial pursuit)
3. Grants Tomb? Not yet!
4. Yes a delicious, Cold potato/leek soup ( I love gaspacho too).
5.
Bof A: Not yet!
Coca Cola: ATlantA
125TH AND PARK: Yes NYC but I'm looking for the Major neighborhood
POP: Yes Pacific Ocean Park Los Angeles/(Santa Monica/ Venice?
6.
"content of their character" MLK Kudos to Bruce D. ("I want my children to be judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content...
"forgive them..." JC
"Brevity is the soul of wit" NOT YET!!
"I resist..." This one is a bullshit question. Sorry/my favorite author/ and an obscure quote. Heres some hints:
American, NYer/ was a book printer first/ civil war...and after/ Emerson was before him.
7. JFK?RFK
8. 007/ you all had it right I would have forgotten David NIven!!
9.West side Story/ Yes Bernstein/ Sondheim You guys are good! most of my friends don't come up with Sondheim. Oringkid even knew the choreographer!!
10. Lindbergh/ yes NY but not NYC Where?
I'll let you all know soon who has won the Billion Dollar 1st prize. Oh didn't I mention that?

Grant,
No, not really although I do think that it's inappropriate to actually get a question right when the test creator had it wrong. (kidding of course!!) I'm going to make sure from now on when I'm kidding that it's obvious.
