2. when trapped behind enemy lines in WWII, what did Grandpa pose as?
3. what state should not be recognised?
4. What president did grandpa get spanked by? How often?
5. what was fashionable to tie to your belt during the war?
6. Who did the people of Springfield blame last time there was a meteor shower?
7. What committee is grandpa president of?
8. What was a Simpson ancestor trying to invent when he stumbled on the love-tonic recipe?

Scroll down a bit -- it's cool.

So we still need an answer to question 1 above,

and you've got the wrong president in #4, but you're right about the two non-consecutive occasions.

Grover Cleveland was the President

The Kaiser stole the word "twenty." Grampa chased that rascal for dickety-two miles to get it back

Next: Who are the only two people on Monty Burns's side of the church when Mr. Burns marries Marge's mom?

I think Smithers and some old guy in a German military helmet with a spike on top.

Smithers was actually best man.

I cheated and looked it up. Barney sits on Burns side of the church.

Next Question:

What is Sideshow Bob's real, full name?

Robert Tuwilliger (sp?) or something like that. They probably mentioned his middle name at some point, but I don't remember.

[octothorp]

Is it Robert Underdunk Terwilliger?

Or some name that sounds like underdunk?

[RougeUnderoos]

Correctemundo, Octothorp.

Underdunk is indeed his middle name.

Someone else write a question.

[octothorp]

How large is West Springfield?

[octothorp]

looks like this question needs a bit of help. West Springfield is the oil-rich desert region where Lenny and Homer go to find dangerous work.

[Kidder]

I seem to remember something about 3 times the size of Texas...

although it was shaped exactly like Texas on the map.

[octothorp]

Yup, that's exactly right.

[Kidder]

Guess it's my turn then...

Name 12 kids who attend Springfield Elementary school.

[RougeUnderoos]

Nice Save!

1. Lewis
2. Sheri
3. Teri
4. Martin
5. Nelson
6. Ezekiel
7. Ishmael (Ezekiel and Ishmael are the two boys that pray for souls while the other children watch "Fuzzy Bunny's Guide to You-Know-What).
8. Kearney
9. Dolph
10. Jimbo
11. Üter
12. Bart (boooo, but I couldn't think of another one)

[AC]

Your question then.

[Kidder]

Nicely done Rouge,

Some others I thought of...

Ralph
Wendle
Janie
Milhouse
Lisa
Allison
Ack, that nerd with the black curly hair and glasses, although I forget his name.

Does anybody know if Rod and Todd go to Springfield Elementary? I've never seen them there, they probably go to some religous school.

Lets get another question and revive this post.
