1. if it has "Russian" in its' name, it must be vodka- even though "Potent Potables" is one of my worst J! categories, I knew this one!

2. easy.

3. easy-this sounds like torture to me.

4. easy. Talcum is another name for baby powder.

5. JTQ 1.

6. a WWOQ. Who knows this? Not me. I JTQ. I was surprised that 39% of the audience knew the right answer-or were they just pushing random buttons on the keypads? A spider crawling under a pillow sounds creepy to me.
