4/5 for me. The one I missed was the easiest one. I was on the right track, but I wrote "Dutch West Indies Company".

I wasn't super confident about Keats on Friday (Shelley probably would have been my second choice, and Byron my third). I think all three of those guys died somewhere around the Mediterranean, but for some reason I had an inkling that Keats was connected to Rome specifically.

I didn't hesitate much before picking Florida, but did think about Louisiana.

Most of what I know about The Music Man comes from the monorail episode of The Simpsons.

So something that I have absolutely never heard of in my life gets an 81%. Hmm.

Did you watch Lawrence of Arabia, is kind of a trick question for me. I watched it on AMC about 6 months ago, but I missed about the first 15 minutes, and I think those 15 minutes would have helped me out on Monday. I did watch it, but I did not see it all.
