Hey, I put in my entries of Palestine and Egypt before Stitchy put in his amendments which included Israel and Egypt.
But you have clearly won anyway, Stitchy. |

OK (since I missed out of these turbo-charged questions), here's a quiz question with only ONE correct answer. That's right folks - ONE!

Very wildly wrong.
Keep thinking. [Hint: Leonardo di Caprio has purchased the film rights to his story.] |

Nameless Being

The first man to drive across the US in an automobile. I read about this last year in the Smithsonian Magazine, but don't really recall the man's name. So yeah it's a complete guess.

I'm pretty sure that Orlok is right. I think he was the one that built a big weird house (sort of like a maze) opened it as a hotel and murdered a load of guests.
The heart transplant guy was called Barnard, I think. |

Indeedly - he was one of the first documented serial killers in the USA - who designed a "hotel of death" for the Chicago 1893 World's fair - and made famous in Erik Larson's "The Devil in the White City" - which book has been optioned by Mr. di Caprio for a future film.
Take it away orlok! |
