  1. Teddy: 56.4% I'm actually a little surprised that this hasn't been guessed yet. George
  2. Clinton never got 50%. Obama, Reagan, and both Bushes got in the 50s, but not the 60s. George
  3. Sky High Kurt Russell Captain Ron George PS: Did you see MEW and costar from Birds of Prey Ewan McGregor in the Showtime miniseries A Gentleman in Moscow? Great series!
  4. Nope. Truman got just under 50%. Eisenhower did better (both times) but didn't top 58%. George
  5. Surprisingly, no, though he did pull 60.8% in 1936. Nixon got 60.7% in 1972. Who's the winner? George As a side note, Lincoln got the LOWEST popular vote percentage of all time, in 1860, just under 40%.
  6. Now they're predicting Raf () to spin around a while and then just dissipate due to wind shear. George
  7. Allowing for misspelling Kojak, you're correct. George
  8. No. Wilson never topped 50%. His successor, Harding, was one of the ones to get over 60%, but he's not the all-time (20th century) winner, either. George
  9. Same movie: "Every minute you don't tell us why you are here, I cut off a finger." "Mine or yours?" "Yours!" "Damn!" George
  10. Sounds like a Ray Charles song, but I don't recognize it. George
  11. Seasons in the Sun "My Daddy was a cop, on the east side of Chicago..." George
  12. Interesting turn Rafael seems to be taking... George
  13. I answered Raf (Superman). My post is the series of "Doctor"s. If that isn't a good clue, I can give another from the film, but I think this is the most familiar. George
  14. Nope. Reagan got 50.8% (1980) and 58.8% (1984), so he doesn't break the top four. George
  15. Years ago, my mother-in-law was riding in a car and saw a sign reading "Litter Barrel, 2 mi." She thought it was the name of a town. It was actually just a place to dump your trash, but in Texas that wouldn't be an unbelievable name. With Election Day behind us, here's an election trivia question: Which 20th-Century President received the highest percentage of the POPULAR vote? (I'm limiting it to 20th-Century because some of the 18th- and 19th-Century elections were real blowouts, George Washing ran unopposed -- twice -- Jefferson, 1804, and James Monroe, 1816 and 1820, were over 70%.) Hint: there were only four elections in the 1900s where the winner received more than 60% of the popular vote. George
