You should accept George washington for the bridge. Without the picture, I would have given up, thinking I was wrong...

Didn't realise the question about the body of water referred to Jersey rather than New Jersey!

Wow, I didn't know I knew SO much about New Jersey history! A few were guesses based on part of the clue, but it's still amazing to miss only two.

I got 17 of 18. As a life long resident of New Jersey I'm ashamed i didn't get 18 out of 18.

Technically, anthrax is wrong. Anthrax is the disease, not the bacteria. The species of bacteria that causes anthrax is bacillus anthracis.
