The TP Game Part I
This is my game. Started becaause Vegas has a huge Ego and I really wnat to quash it.
So the Rules...
1. you have 2 days.
2. NO GOOGLE cheating (or other search engine cheating for that matter)
3. Answer as many as you can in one shot - no multiple comments or they don't count!
4. Even if someone else has answered and you believe them right post your answers including theirs - I am looking for the person with the most correct answers.
Once a week I will post new questions... probably Tuesday - the answers will be up by 10am Friday morning (Ontario time).
Good luck to all!

1. What world war II leader's typewriter rests in Bessemer, Alabama's Hall of History museum?
2. Who was the only Hollywooder besides Robin Williams and Tom Hanks to star in seven films that grossed over $100 million in the 1990's?
