I'm fine with that Doom, but you also need to do that with the Bushes. I'll let you decide how.

Real quick before I head out the door, I was thinking George H.W. Bush, and just George W. Bush. The longer middle blanks should clue in anyone about which one is being asked for. "W" will produce 2 blanks (W and the period) while the father will produce 4 blanks for the middle initials (2 letters, 2 periods). That sound good to you?

Sounds fine to me. "Which country won the Olympic men's Basketball Gold medal in 1996*Cuba" I think most people still remember that it was the States.[/u] Cuba[/u] won the Baseball gold, though, so whichever way you want to change it. "What record does the khaki campbell breed of duck hold*egg laying" I just find "egg laying" to be rather ambiguous. I'm just not sure how to say it better... Wikipedia[/u] doesn't really help. "Which long motor race is held in France every June*le mans 24 hourest" Either 24 Heures du Mans[/u] or 24 Hours of Le Mans would be best. Probably the former. "Which spell has the lowest range?*Consume" Could you put a nice "Starcraft:" before the question, please? "The atomic number of cesium*55" "A dodecagon*a polygon with 12 sides" "According to one study, _________ of lawns have some sort of lawn ornament*24%" "The deepest penguin dive was ---------- ft under the water.*1261" "At what angle above the horizon must the Sun be to create a rainbow*40 degrees" "How many years are there in 4 score and 7*87" "In cooking measurements, a thimble is approximately equal to how many drops*30" "How many watts are there in one horsepower of energy*746" "The simpsons: Who does homer hang out with after he is kicked out of (number 77 and 78)*monkeys" I don't know if this is wrong, I just can't remember what the hell it's talking about. Hopefully someone can remind me of the episode so I can decide how to change the question. "What is samantha mulder's file number*X-42053" This question is possibly right, I just don't care. It's a horrible question and it should be deleted.

Ok, fixed the latest batch.
Bolviar is now Bolivar (only one instance of that, assault)
Gnome-egg laying and the Simpsons question are both removed. I'll put the Simpsons one back in if you can figure out what it's going for. Rephrased or wrote out the numbers for the rest of your questions listed and removed the obvious entries like the Punky Brewster one, etc.
Klitschko-I've been removing all the Johns I find, but without specific instances that you've seen, I can't just go after the world John since there are too many instances of that. Wait until after the scores reset at the end of this month to look. I'm sending Chalupa this updated correction set for use next month so any Johns that appear incorrectly then will be ones that I've yet to fix.

What carry blood to the heart*arteries
Other than the fact that it's quite clearly "veins" (or "vena cava", depending on the phrasing of the question), the phrasing of the question is not very grammatically correct. Yes, it's a nitpick. But a grammatically correct one.
In 1972 Alyassa---------- , actor (Who's the Boss) ,born*milano
I'm fairly sure it's "Alyssa". It's still answerable, but the typo bugs me, I guess.

"What did boxer cassius clay Change his name to*muhammed Ali" It's Muhammad "When did the Bahamas become independant*July 10,1973" Can we just have it say 1973, please? "Charmed:...As flame lights shadow, and truth ends fear...the smoke from this cand*speech" I don't know... Delete? "There's nothing ____ with me.*cruvis" This makes so little sense that I'm not even sure I got it right. Cruvis isn't a word, so delete? "What symbol represents the voiceless inter-dental fricative*thet" I believe this should be theta[/u] "Why was eric moussambani famous at the Sydney Olympic games*the slow but heroic swimmer from equatorial Guinea." Retarded. "What is or are the major languages in Switzerland*Swiss and French" Hilarious! As per wiki[/u], Switzerland is 64% German, 20% French, and 6.5% Italian. I'm not sure if you want to choose all three, or just the first two, so I leave it up to you to decide what constitutes "Major". "On average, how many squirts from a cow's udder are needed to fill a gallon bucket*345" "What score is not possible for a cribbage hand*19" "How long did the mummification process of a wealthy Egyptian generally take*70 days" "What percentage of women claim to shave all of their pubic hair regularly*25%" "How many teaspoons of suger does the average north American consume every day*19" Plus suger. "Whose daughter became the wealthiest three year old in 1988*christina" "Who replaced kitty russell as operator of the longbranch saloon*miss hAnnah" You just wanted me to mention these, so I'm not even going to bother looking them up.

The top basketball player of the decade?*Michael Jordan
Either add the 90's decade or delete the question all together since its more opinionated than anything.

I'll fix 'em all tomorrow after work Gnome. Suffice it to say, "Christina" refers to Christina Onassis...grand-daughter of Aristotle (I believe) and related to Jackie Kennedy. She inherited whatever it was her family was worth on the death of whoever last held the money...something like $3 billion. And as far as "Cruvis" goes...it's another Stargate question. It's correct, but no sane person except myself gets the reference, so I'll delete it. Thanks for catching that one.

"What is the word used to describe the act of applying the tongue to the anus...love partner to or near or*reaming" It's too long, for one. Also, reaming[/u] is not the same as Anilingus[/u] (I've been spelling it wrong, all this time!). I suggest changing the answer to "rimming". "The ______ ____ _________ are an American professional baseball team.*Kansas City Athletics" I don't know what other baseball team questions you have. If you don't have them, then you could change this to either "Oakland Athletics" or "Kansas City Royals". If both of those are already in the question file, you can always change this question to say "were an American League time from 1955 to 1967"[/u] or something like that. "What prescription drug is Krusty addicted to*Percadine" It's Percodan[/u], like you said. Why can't the simpsons trivia writers spell? "What is moe's religion*snake handeler" I rest my case. "How many miles of nerves are there in the human body*45" "The term quartocentennial represents how many years*25"

Q: Trivia: 5: 45 pm in military time is how many hours*1745 Trivia: 60% of __________ occur while talking on the phone during a thunderstorm
Ok, How could another question get inside the answer? Lack of a space or an enter I think.
