I was surprised by the answer to the 2005 disease question. I thought that disease would have peaked somewhere between the late 80's to mid 90's. I was trying things like West Nile, Zika Virus, and H1N1.

LOL, I need glasses, I thought you asked for the "tower" house of the British Parliament. But since neither Big Ben nor Elizabeth Tower fit in the answer, I typed "Commons" anyway.

The Ryan Gosling question is a bit redundant. You don't actually need to know who the actor is - the question may as well read "What is a baby goose called?" as answering this is sufficient to correctly answer the question as currently written. Perhaps, "What is the first name of the actor whose last name means "baby goose"?

I noticed a lot of French-speakers referring to it as "the French can-can" on a recent trip to France, but it's more common for English speakers to just say "can-can". In any case, it probably should be accepted--it's just a variation that probably didn't occur to the quizmaker at the time.
