I always like it when a ruler has a qualifier after his name. In 1066, William I was crowned the first Norman king of England. Today, we know him as "William the _______."

Conqueror. William I is often credited with unifying all of England for the first time. He also created "The Domesday Book", an account of all the material wealth in his kingdom. He used this ledger for taxing purposes. He is also famous for building more than 80 fortified castles during his reign throughout his realm -- a good way to keep the local nobles in line.

Bil ________ created a syndicated cartoon featuring two parents and their children: Billy, Jeffy, Dolly and PJ.

Keane. The cartoon is "Family Circus" and it appears in more than 1,500 newspapers. Bil Keane is also the author of 60 books (as of 2004), of which there are more than 14 million in print.

Finish the quote: "Danger, Will ______!"

Robinson. The wonderfully campy "Lost In Space" TV show from the 1960's featured Billy Mumy as Will Robinson. When Will's friend, The Robot, sensed danger he would flail his telescopic, clawed arms and call out his catch phrase: "Danger, Will Robinson!" Interestingly, two men comprised The Robot: Bob May, inside the costume; and Dick Tufeld, who provided his distinctive voice.

Leon Czolgosz's last words, before being electrocuted were, "I killed the President because he was the enemy of the good people — the good working people. I am not sorry for my crime." Who had he killed?

McKinley & William McKinley & President McKinley. The date was September 6, 1901. Czolgosz was an anarchist who hoped to gain support for his movement by killing the President of the United States. At the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, NY, President McKinley was working his way down a greeting line, shaking hands with exposition visitors. Czolgosz had wrapped a hankerchief around his hand like a bandage, concealing a pistol. When the president approached him, Czolgosz pressed the gun against McKinley's chest and fired twice. As the assassin was tackled and beaten by citizens and secret service agents alike, President McKinley is reported to have said, "Go easy on him, boys."

This tennis player was a 6-time Wimbledon singles champ whose most famous match, in 1973, was dubbed "The Battle of the Sexes."

Billie Jean King. In 1971, Ms. King became the first female athlete to earn $100,000 in a year. Of course, two years later, she earned that same amount in one MATCH when she defeated her male opponent, Bobby Riggs in straight sets.

This poet was credited with ushering in the English Romantic Movement with the publication of "Lyrical Ballads" in 1798. William __________.

Wordsworth. Wordsworth published "Lyrical Ballads" in conjunction with Samuel Coleridge, author of the famous poem, "Rime of the Ancient Mariner," among others. This was a tough question because there were many Williams in the English Romantic Movement. Besides Wordsworth, there was William Blake, Hone, Godwin and Hazlitt.

Who was the first black hockey player to play in the National Hockey League?

Willie O'Ree. Integration of hockey was relatively late. Willie O'Ree broke into the NHL in 1958. By then, baseball, football, tennis, bowling, golf, and boxing were all racially integrated. O'Ree played just two games for the Boston Bruins in '58. After two years in the minors, he returned for 41 games. He never played in the NHL after that. Although O'Ree is credited with breaking the color barrier, strangely there were no other black NHL players for another 25 years.

A bit of a switch. The musical theme for "Star Wars" is almost as famous as the movie itself. It was composed by John Williams, a name you'll find on the credits of many blockbuster movies and popular TV shows. Which title is NOT associated with John Williams?

Titanic. John Williams is one of the most accomplished film composers of all time. He's won 5 Oscars out of 41 nominations. Although incredibly talented in his own right, it helps that he has scored all but one of Steven Spielberg's films. The single of the "Star Wars" theme is the highest selling instrumental single of all time, with more than 2 million copies sold.

Some U.S. presidents have a knack for deflecting criticism. President Nixon was sometimes called "Tricky Dick," Reagan was referred to as "The Teflon President." But what was Bill Clinton unaffectionally called? _______ Willy.

Slick. Bill Clinton, despite presiding over a prosperous, relatively peaceful era in American history, was impeached by the House of Representatives for his affair with White House intern, Monica Lewinsky.

Who is William H. Bonney?

Billy The Kid. Billy The Kid is one of the most notorious outlaws of the American Wild West. It is almost impossible to separate fact from legend, but is widely accepted that he went on a murderous rampage when his friend and mentor, John Tunstall, was killed in a business feud. He is said to have been shot in his sleep by Sheriff Pat Garret, a former friend of The Kid's.
