I gotsta go hop on a plane, but hopefully you all know the drill...

Anyone can and everyone should play

Answers must be in by the start of play Sunday OR Monday, and Monday entries will have a cute little asterisk next to them. If Wayne Odesnik plays Sunday, or Radwanska loses, those question will be thrown out. Also PLEASE do not pick a person who has already proven to be a right answer.

Every question worth one point unless otherwise noted.

Good luck!
