May be there was a huge land(sea)slide recently and we haven't heard of it...

I did better. I got 8 and 10. (I have purple finches at my bird feeder    )

[David]

Fail, I got 3 & 10. The rest?? 

[Williamsfan]

I knew number 4 but then I'd have been embarrassed not to since I studied Russian history for about 8 years.  The rest...
