2..Geordi & VAUC harken back to childhood--or maybe parenting--with The Owl & the Pussycat.

3..Carmen Diaz is the Bad Teacher, from about a year ago. Ed4 names Harvey Keitel & Nicholas Cage.

6..VTC leads 4 with Mercury vapor.

7..Only VAUC has Chile.

8..K9 was one of many bored by DUNE.

9..VTC & geordi select Kevin Na of golf. Tidepool names last year's French Open champ, Li Na.

10..VTC correctly puts in Sweden & Finland.

11..Husky leads 6 with Facebook.
