... but I guess that's the kind of systemic risk that comes with this thread. Maybe I should have put the question through a last round of testing before posting it.

Well after reading the clue, lets go with Zeta.

To change it up, What small creature has 4 noses? For bonus points, what other small creature can have over 10,000 teeth?

Liljol?

Liljol?

Well, it rhymes with zeta. He was called "Beta" because although he made major contributions to fields as diverse as math, geography, and astronomy, his critics said he was second-best in any of them. If you look at how he calculated the circumference of the earth to within 1%, though, I think he had a claim on some alphaness.

By virtue of venturing the most tries (and the closest answer), I'll pass the baton to Mudee.

Well here is a little hint..... think small somewhere between the size of a nickle and a quartet (in most cases). If there are no closer guesses than ICEMAN with the LILJOL answer by tomorrow, then the floor is his.

The scream...the something scream....I can't get to it.

I'll let you two fight this one out, no screaming.

Not sure I get there without the setup, so Akbar can take the credit.

Mmkay.

Who arbitrated the settlement of the Pig War, the border dispute between the U.S. and Canada, ultimately awarding control of the San Juan Islands to the U.S.?

Sorry for not being faster with a question.

I expect this to be answered very quickly. What are the Pleiades called in Japanese?

I was going to give someone else a chance to answer this, but as no one has stepped up, I'll go ahead. The answer is Subaru, which is why the auto company has the logo it does.

For the next one, there were two First Ladies in the 20th century whose first name was Eleanor. One was Eleanor Roosevelt. Who was the other? (Hint: Almost everyone knows her by another name).

Jimmy Carter's wife, Rosalynn. Rosalynn was actually her middle name.
