I thought #16 was Vladimir Zworykin.

So did I, Lindy. That’s who I had in mind. 
Some more:
21. What pro basketball star retired shortly after the NBA instituted the shot clock?
22. Where did philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche spend the last part of his life?
23. In Ralph Ellison’s The Invisible Man, what kind of product did the factory the Narrator worked in, manufacture?
24. Which bone in the human body (other than “sesamoids”) is not jointed to another bone?
25. Which high official in the government of the Confederacy had graduated from West Point?
26. Which moon, of another planet, shares a name with a movie actress?
27. Which national Slavic language is unique in that it uses a definite article?
28. In The Rockford Files, where did Jim Rockford meet Angel?
29. What Midwestern city houses a famous circus museum?
30. True or false: Ludwig von Beethoven wrote all the music for his Ninth Symphony.
This one I DO know. It’s the hyoid bone, which, if memory serves, helps support the tongue.
[Side note]
I’ve often wondered how difficult it would be to talk with that bone broken.

#21. George Mikan?
#25 is Robert E. Lee
Just for the record, I knew #2, 7, and 19 but was too late to post the answers.
- What’s the largest integer that can be stored in two bytes of memory?
Signed or unsigned?
#28) In prison
Oh, what the hell, I’m feeling frisky, let’s go with signed!
Oh, what the hell, I’m feeling frisky, let’s go with signed!
- Well, Jupiter’s moon Callisto is close to Callista Flockhart, but not quite.
If that’s not it, I have no idea.
And Robert E. Lee wasn’t, strictly speaking, part of the government of the Confederacy; he was a general. I have no idea what the answer should be, though. 
- 32767 (using one bit for the sign).
- Baraboo WI
- I believe that would be Jefferson Davis, the President of the Confedearcy.
WSLer, you’re right.
Lindy Hopper: It’s Oberon, a moon of Uranus. (Others include Miranda and Ariel.)
Shibboleth: You’re right, it’s Mikan.
31. I was thinking of [pi]9–pi to the ninth power–with the Greek letter and the superscript 9 (exponential) that my Character Map won’t produce.
- Miranda works too (Miranda Richardson, among others). Rhea ( Saturn) Perlman, while mostly known for TV, has been in a few movies. Also Phoebe (Saturn) Cates and Rosalind (Uranus) Russel.
Well, pi[sup]9[/sup] isn’t an integer, so that rules that out. 
(I can get pi to show up on the screen, but in preview, it turns into an asterisk for some reason.)
I still say #31 is 32767; you have 15 bits to work with (because you need one bit for the sign), and 2[sup]15[/sup] - 1 = 32767. So there.
- Paint. White* paint.
I agree with LindyHopper on #31, but I sure would like to know how dougie_monty calculated his answer.
I got it out of thin air, Doubting Robert. I was thinking of two characters, not necessarily two bytes. :o
Donald Knuth, who in more recent years has written a series of serious computer manuals, in the late 50s wrote an article for Mad concerning a new, and totally facetious, system of weights and measures. In this article he mentions halvah, and says in a footnote–I read it across instead of the whole left-hand page part then the right-hand page part, so it came out like this:
Halvah is a form of pie,
3.1416 and a specific heat.
And it has a specific gravity of
of .31416.
