Pictures round
1. The original line-up of the Avengers (if you're keeping score, you get a tenth of a point for saying
that they're Avengers. This question is dedicated to Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne, both of whom
will probably never be Avengers in the films, but were there at the start in the comics)
2. Things Richard Fairbrass from Right Said Fred is too sexy for (Milan, Milan, New York, and
Japan)
3. Things that appear on Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine album covers.
4. Actors from Love Actually. If you didn't get this one you probably want to watch Love Actually a
few more times. You have my permission (possibly even encouragement) to skip the Laura Linney
storyline bits.
5. Adjectives from Italian cities (Neapolitan ice cream, Venetian blind, Eggs Florentine, and Roman
Polanski)
6. Space marine chapters from Warhammer 40,000 (Ultramarines, White Scars, Dark Angels, and
