Don't say I didn't warn you.
1. short for "public house"
2. Dorothy Parker
3. one
4. 10759 AD
5. two
I knew 1, 2, and I knew that 4 was some crazy xtreme number in the future but not the specific year itself. Interesting factoids, and I hope miked reads this and uses these questions.
Coincidentally, there is a bar on Lorain in West Park called the Public House. I was there for happy hour a few times and always mistakenly see Pubic House on the sign.
My pub quiz prowess is fueled by Guinness!
There is a place in New Albany, IN named Richo's (or Rich o's) Public House
These sound like uppity places to me, if they're too good for the commonly used abbreviations and choose to spell things out instead.
