1. I'm neutral, like the Land of Switzers

2. Very few people know this, Forrest,
but Switzerland, an idyllic and pH neutral nation populated by 7,489,370 fondue and raclette eaters, actually was named for former University of Oklahoma football coach Barry Switzer. :thumbsup:

5. That's a common misconception.

Osterreich actually was named for its national bird, an annyoing and poorly executed homage to which appears in every cuckoo clock produced there.

13. Award-winning.
Stellar. And I believe I can speak with some authority about bad puns; I am, after all, the woman who wrote the headline, "Drug and alcohol speaker on tap." :thumbsup:

18. pH 5
I form wheddellite and whewhellite as well as apatite - which usually forms in pH of 7.3 or higher.
