Trivia Thursday: Where's The Remote?

For this week's Trivia Thursday, I am focusing on TV shows and the cities they were set in. To make it even more fun, they are all shows that are favorites of mine.

1) Homicide: Life on the Streets showed the lives of police patrolling the crime-infested streets of what East Coast city?

2) In an episode of Futurama, Fry ends up in a place he thinks is New New York in the year 3000. What city was revealed to be his actual location?

3) In what suburb do the Freemans of Boondocks fame reside? And what city did the brothers originate?

4) In what city is the USA series Psych set in? BONUS: What city is actually home to its production?

5) Everybody knows the cities of the Heroes universe. But can you name both the major city and the offshoot haven of the superbeings in the series The 4400?

6) In what city does the sitcom My Hero take place? BONUS: What is the hometown of the protagonist, according to his cover story?

Combination Links/Trivia! Run in Terror!

You thought you were going to make it another week without suffering the brain-numbing effects of my Trivia Thursday, huh? Thought all you had to do was wait until I got to the weekend and you would be free for another seven days, eh?

You thought wrong.

As a reward for your lack of commenting (I thought we discussed my irrational need for validation and attention, people!) and as a way to work off the pent=up aggression that developed during my "swollen eye" period this week. By the way, I had a swollen eye that practically blinded me for most of the week, which explains the lack of daily posting. But apparently nobody wondered where I was. I blame LitelySalted. She has spoiled you with her long absences. Don't allow yourself to be bored, or worse, be driven to actually work during the day! Demand daily service! Demand waste of time! DEMAND BLOGGING!

Anyway, let us begin the torture!

1) What did Swedish scientist Carolus Linnaeus develop in the 18th century?

2) Besides a slang word for brain, what is an actual noggin?

3) What is the actual name of the so-called 'growth hormone'?

4) True or False: a gourmet can be considered an epicure.

5) In what well known book does one find the Witch of Endor?

6) What is the opposite of a monist?

7) From a mountain peak in the country, you can see both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. What is it?

8) What famous holiday was created when the Gregorian calendar was adopted? And where did it originate?

9) Historically (as in not from any fantasy series), from where does a sorcerer's wand derive its power?

10) And just so I won't be too hard on you: What is an aglet?

Here are some links to rest your weary mind with:

As a computer science major and as one of the few who really hated these types of plotholes, this warmed my cold heart. (Cracked)

Adding insult to eye-based injury, I found out I probably missed Pierre Bernard at Dragon*Con by thismuch. I was actually there at the line, directing folks. I could have met his Rageship! (I Want To Eat A Nut Of Laerma!)

Anyone who honestly thought that the second she turned legal, she wouldn't realize she should trade up from the MTV pud, step forward to get your senses slapped back into you (Fatback & Collards)

More of possibly the only woman who might (MIGHT, dammit) convince me to leave Our Beloved Kat to TK's evil clutches, even though he IS married, and should stop trying to hog in on my crush action... (Popoholic)

Oh come on! Leave the girl alone! Or at least give me time to recover! I have fluids that need replenishing. (Celebitchy)

Whenever I hear a story like this, it is like God just goes all Tony Jaa on my lower horn. (HollywoodRag)
