1 Architect Eero Saarinen.... Sorry, Brad Pitt -- not this time.
2 Criminal Willie Sutton.... Bank robber and super-creative break-out artist
3 U.S. Cities Key West (Florida) and Honolulu (Hawaii)
Quaint, balmy, and historic Key West -- best sunsets and conch soup anywhere
Scenic, clean, sunny, famous Waikiki Beach, on-the-ocean, small-city Honolulu

1,368 patents
5 Cult Figure Angela Davis.... Long live gun-packin' Angela
6 U.S. President Thomas Jefferson
3rd president, U.S. Constitution author, and architect (no, students, I don't remember him)
7 Classic Cars BMW Isetta 300 and 1959 Cadillac Biarritz.... love those fins
8 Cars Now Smart Car (www.smartusa.com).... but it needs fins (and gills)
9 All-time Spectacular Car Stretch Cadillac
22 wheels, 50 seats, cinema, TV lounge, cocktail lounge, bedroom for four,
swimming pool with diving board, and one-hole golf course on roof. A shade long, though.
10 Suicide Bungler

35 years after Florida, still can't connect elsewhere
14 Animal Rhinoceros
Massive, vegetarian, thick-skinned, fearsome, and not afraid of a few wrinkles
15 Musical Composition Wagner's "Tristan and Isolde".... strong, inspiring, and monumental (everything I need)
16 Recording Artists Nana Mouskouri, Vince Gill, and Enya
17 Song "Lazy Mary".... ol' beer-drinkin' song -- but don't ask
