Wow, weird mixture of "this seems too easy" and "whaaa?"

* How many apples high are Smurfs? Two. Three wants to trip right off the fingertips, but I say two.
* How many dice are there in the game of Yahtzee? Five. Unless your toddler has hidden one (true story).
* Which Peanuts character plays the piano? Schroeder. Are we graded on spelling?
* In the nursery rhyme, Little Miss Muffett was eating what when the spider scared her? Curds and whey!
* Name the largest U.S. state capital city not home to an NFL, NBA, MLB, or NHL franchise. Those would be sports organizations, right?
* Who invented the system of shorthand writing that replaced the Pitman method in 1888? *shrug* Am I going to go, "of course!" over this one?
* How many U.S. presidents first served as governors? I know someone who wrote up an interesting comparison of former governors/generals/senators/other presidents -- but the numbers didn't stick in my head.
* A McBurney incision is used to perform what kind of surgery? Arthroscopic?
* How much does it cost the U.S. Treasury to make a currency note?
Hmmm... ~$0.05?
* Which letter of the Greek alphabet is used to denote the brightest star in a constellation? Alpha.
* What are the code names given to the bombs dropped on Japan to end WWII? Fat Man and Little Boy.
