| "David B" <askforemail@gmail.com>: Dec 04 03:05PM 2. This brand of cigarettes was first produced by Liggett & Myers in 1963. It was notable for its charcoal filter but is probably best-remembered in the US for a TV commercial in which people were exhorted to "show us your <answer 2> pack" to the William Tell Overture. (To be honest, Stan Freberg's commercial for Jeno's Pizza Rolls, which was a parody of this commercial, is even better-remembered.) The brand is still manufactured today by Altria but is much more popular in Japan than in the US. Lark 5.

(No, I don't know how a national association has a world championship.) He was the first skateboarder to successfully land after a 900-degree turn.

Björn Lundin: > 0 for Superbus ? Well, it's usual to refer to kings by a first name, as you might know from experience closer to home. But I guess he was the only king referred to with the word "Superbus". So even though it means "the proud" and not a very large public transit vehicle, I'll accept it as almost correct. 3 for Björn.
