Trivia Game.

This will probably put me over the limit of game thread suggestions for the day, but after a disasterous attempt to have people participate in the Image Scavenger Race, I'm left with dozens of clues that I've thought up which are going to go to waste. So in a last ditch effort to get some sort of use out of them, I'll post them here and people can answer them if they want. No pictures, just regular typing is fine.
