1) Charles Dickens 2) Apparently it's painted continuously. 3) Six 4) Aristocles, supposedly. 5) A director who doesn't want his name attached to a particular movie. 6) "My second-best bed." 7) "Changing colour is an expression of the physical and physiological condition of the lizard. The colour also plays an important part in communication. Despite popular belief, chameleons cannot change colour to their surroundings. Chameleons are naturally coloured for their surroundings as a camouflage." Gotta love Wikipedia. ^_^ 8) Bamako ("crocodile swamp") 9) The ribbon worm. Sounds nasty. 10) Eight, officially. {You're still a planet in my heart, Pluto!} How'd I do? ^_^
