I knew Petri, but I could not remember how to spell it. Other than that, 19/24.

I had to look up the spellings for 'Rorschach' and 'Molotov' because everything I was entering came up wrong [Roershack, Roreshach, Rauershack! Ugh!] [Malatov? Molatav? Mollotaff? Gah!]. I was so bummed I couldn't name the Gatling gun because I pictured it in my head. Nice quiz!

Am I the only one who thinks "X Files" when confronted with Erlenmeyer flask as an answer?

No, and I don't think I am the only one who thought of Watchmen with the Rorschach test.

"Rigid dirigible" has a sort of ring to it... actually I was wondering the same thing.

odd how some really poor misspellings are accepted but a simple ven instead of venn isn't...

Molotov cocktail was not invented my a guy called Molotov. The name "Molotov cocktail" was coined by the Finns during the Winter War. The name is an insulting reference (not a tribute) to Soviet foreign minister Vyacheslav Molotov, who was responsible for the partition of Finland.
