1. Name someone who has served as Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. 2. Name a thoroughbred race horse that has won the Triple Crown (Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes) 3. Name an American author who has won the Nobel Prize for Literature (I will be generous, up to a point, in my interpretation of who counts as an American) 4. Name one of the 12 Labors of Hercules. 5. Name a movie star who has earned Oscars in both the lead and supporting categories (both Best Actor AND Best Supporting Actor, or Best Actress AND Best Supporting Actress). 6. Name one of the colleges in the Big Ten. 7. Name a U.S. President who wore facial hair (beard, mustache, or both). 8. Name one of the 12 Tribes of Israel (or, if you prefer, one of the 12 sons of Jacob) 9. Name a province of Canada. 10. Name an astronaut who has walked on the moon 11. John Roberts 12.

I wanted to say John Jay for the Chief Justice one, but figured that the current guy is going to garner more votes! And Seattle Slew may not be the most popular, but in the 70s he was -extremely- popular. 🙂 ---
