The Panama Canal Zone was an unorganized territory of the United States from 1903 - 1979. John McCain was born there on August 29, 1936. You'll need to correct that question.

Always seemed kind of weird that they called him ALF. I mean, he had a name, and was perfectly capable of telling it to them. "No, we're gonna call you 'alien life form' instead."

The animal is actually a bison, not a buffalo. Yes, they are called "Buffalo Nickels" but you should also accept bison, since that's what the animal is.

...and the answer should display as Bison.

Buffalo are not indigenous to North America.

"American bison (Bison bison), also commonly referred to as the American buffalo or simply "buffalo" in North America". Words can have several meanings, animals can have several names.

When I was on Mackinac Island I saw both an ambulance and construction vehicles. Not trying to suggest that the answer is wrong, but "forbidden" ain't all it's cracked up to be.

Who says they weren’t forbidden? I think you’ll find that all of those construction workers and the ambulance driver were all arrested, rendered to a CIA black site and are currently being detained, indefinitely, at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. And a good thing too, those sick bastards!

"What was discovered in the Black Hills in 1874?" is also a question on US General Knowledge #6. I suggest switching one of those out for a new general knowledge question.
