GENIUS ROUND

Hard questions from all over

2 points each

1. In 2010, we saw the first woman in history win the Oscar for Best Director (and her film won Best Picture) - but maybe more importantly, she beat out her super successful ex-husband whose film was nominated in both categories. Name the divorced couple - one point each.
2. Remember that time when Zeus got Semele pregnant (with Dionysus - the wine/drama/fertility god), Hera found out, Semele convinced Zeus to reveal himself in his godly form, and that killed her? Good times. Zeus rescued the unborn/premature Dionysus, sewed him into part of his body, and carried him to term. What body part was that?
3. In 2005, when ESPN(/ABC/Disney) acquired the rights to Monday Night Football and NBC got Sunday Night Football, a deal was made to trade Al Michaels to NBC (to stay with John Madden who just moved over as he was not in a binding contract). The rights to what early Disney character were traded from NBC to Disney for Al Michaels?
4. In 1998, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. (age 81 - serving since 1975) was able to get a lake that borders VT and NEW YORK designated as a 'Great Lake,' although it is significantly smaller than the smallest Great Lake. Yes, we had 6 Great Lakes for 18 days. What is the name of this lake (which has been a name in the news lately for a completely different reason)?
5. State Highway 130 has a posted speed limit of 85 MPH. In what state (which is in the top 10 by population and area) is this fastest speed limit in the US?
