Would have gotten number two right, but didn't know what was being asked until clicked the answer button. Need two colons (I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere) and better spacing to be able to communicate the terms property.

Said George Clinton for number three, which I stand by as being acceptable.

I got 1, 4 and 5 correct. I still don't understand the answer to #2 - I just don't know enough I guess. Who is Grant Wood?
So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.

Grant wood is the person who painted American gothic. Interestingly enough, the inspiration for the painting was Grant's sister and the dentist

I will keep that in mind. I don't post much....if I knew how to stack them in a column. I asked BBB to put the answers in spoiler tags, so hats off to her for doing that.. I would say clinton would be acceptable. JUst some interesting analogies for a rainy day. Thanks for the reply Tom
