Okay, Sir. I've made me guesses...haven't graded them yet. I'm going to try the Spoiler tags and post my answers so you have to click to see them.
This time I got 5 for 5. I was weaned on Kipling's "Just So" stories. 1) What is the procedure called where an anaesthetic is injected close to the spinal cord? Spoiler Epidural 2) What poisonous oily liquid occurs naturally in tobacco leaves? Spoiler Nicotene 3) Who had his first UK top 10 hit with 'Wichita Lineman'? Spoiler Glen Campbell 4) Which sign of the Zodiac is represented by the Scales? Spoiler Libra 5) In which country was Rudyard Kipling born? Spoiler India 5 for 5, baby Mate. But these were pretty easy. And I like this Spoiler tag. you can put your own Title on them ("Spoiler" is default.) You can put more that one Spoiler per line. So you could do a "Hint" as well as an "Answer."

I had to go through the Zodiacal symbols in my mind...process of elimination. I only guessed at Kipling because I knew that the obvious answer was too obvious. Now I gotta read "Captains Courageous" again. Also a great movie...
