14..Ed4 said it--the discovery of the double helix of DNA.

15..Geordi's ride was all downhill; ed4 too. Zugspitze

16..On the toilet; VAUC would have been more exact, but he has delicate sensibilities..

17..Puzzling that a couple of you chose I-90. I would have expected we all know that the even numbered
interstates are E-W, whereas the 2 towns are far apart N-S. It's I-15, as geordi & VTC attest.

18..Aquamarine, as the still-living Dish says, as do geordi & VTC.

19..Indiana once was included; no more. Meyers and 3 with Arizona.

20..Geordi warbles," My Bucket's Got a Hole in it." VAUC with the assist.

21..VTC hits on St. Patrick.

22..You could safely bet that rbny would know this. Cole Porter

23..K-Mart

24..Mr006 with Tower Heist. Meyers with half his memory heisted.

25..VTC provides beginning and end. Two others know the ditty, too.

Und das ist alles, mein Herren und Maechen.
