Fun quiz! Some additional accepted answers for "Stock Market Crashed" would be helpful. I put in "Black Tuesday" and "Stock Market Crash" (and, thus, didn't get it)--both of those would make good acceptable answers. There are some more listed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_Street_Crash_of_1929

Surprised that King was not accepted. So I tried Kennedy. Do we need the full Revered Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr.?

The “Spanish Flu” actually originated in the midwest of the USA, possibly from a Kansas poultry farm. The name derives from most country’s media being under heavy war censorship at the time. Not being directly involved in the conflict left the Spanish press free to report the pandemic, leading to the misnomer.
