van Gogh and van Dyke would ordinarily be alphabetized under "G" and "D", while Von Trapp would be under "V". But, since this is an American quiz, they are all put under "V".

For those wondering (I didn't know this until a year or two back), Visigoths = West Goths and Ostrogoths = East Goths.

Ostrogoths sound like they're a large, flightless bird. Or a band.

For some reason I looked at the picture for "seafaring people" and thought, "huh, what's a group of seafaring people like the Vikings that start with V..." D'oh!
