SSSusan:
Hey, with our international membership, we might have a decent shot 
at coming up with a number of these.

I, unfortunately, found most of the clues/questions/descriptions way 
too overclever for me.  I was only able to be certain about 1, 5, 15 
(after a little help from Alla to be sure I was on the right 
track ;)), 18 & 19.  

I have a guess on 12, too, but it is purely a guess.  

I feel like I should know 4, 11, 13 & 14, but I'm just not getting 
there.  

Anybody else have some they're sure of?
