Seif Day 16

5/6.  Very surprised, since I had what seemed to me to be two long-shot guesses.

1. Panama Canal :), D20.  This was a gimme for me.  Teddy Roosevelt leaving the US (the first time for a sitting president) to inspect the Panama Canal is a pretty famous event in American history.

2. Heathcliff :(, D12.  No clue at all.

3. Minsk :), D21.  Didn't know that this was the HQ of the CIS, but "450 miles west-southwest of Moscow" could only be Minsk.  I assume we'll get a lot of Kievs as answers.

4. Mickey Mouse :), D03.  Wow, didn't expect to get this.  I saw "Steamboat" in the 1920s and knew that Mickey Mouse's first appearance was in something called Steamboat Willie.  But I didn't expect this to be right.  Wouldn't have given a D3 for LLL had I known.

5. Golf Hole :), D31.  Second one I didn't expect to get.  I thought of mine (it being WV) and quarry, but 1884 seemed too recent for either.  Thorsten has fooled me on at least one or two random golf questions over the years, so that came to mind as a possibility.

6. Quantum :), D12.  Gimme.

Re: Debbie Day 15

A sad 2 today.

1. County :(, D2.  The Crown has taught me nothing!!

2. Coupe :(, D0.  Really thought this was right (probably just because it rhymes with sloop)

3. Edgar Allan Poe :), D1. First thing that came to mind and fortunately the right guess.

4. red :(, D2.  Curses! Should have been able to get this one but just couldn't think of it. Bush babies will always make me think of Simon Cowell (sadly - that was kind of mean)

5. the Internet :), D1.  Never saw it but the advertising was ubiquitous (a fun word to use)

6. Norwich :(, D3. Nope.  Am I right that there is even a Norwich man? I thought maybe I'd seen it here earlier?
