#12 I think is Birkenstock's:
"They have been loved and reviled as "the world's ugliest sandals", but on the streets of London and Hollywood and the runways of Paris, Germany's unmistakable Birkenstocks are making waves with a new generation."

4 & 9 It would appear that Morris McGurk is the hero and he built the circus in an empty lot behind Mr Sneelock's ramshackle store.

Q2 was answered in this forum recently and I seem to remember that it was that Scotch must be made in Scotland, rather than the difference in the spelling.

#11 I looked for this one and got confused. There seems to be a single called "She's on Fire", before this one, but the search I did came up with : "Train" discography

Train definately sang "Drops of Jupiter" and one of the lyrics was "The Best Soy Latte That You've Ever Had In Me". I think that is it!

10- Edward Furlong played John Connor in "Terminator 2:Judgement Day", however, from what I can find, the character was not yet born in "Terminator 1".
