This is the Addams family house created by Charles Addams. This served as the inspiration of what other building?

MSK gets it right. The answer is The house from Psycho.

In the train schedules published in American newspapers of the 1800s, the names of railroads were abbreviated.
X.Y was a railroad, whose hyphenated form (X-Y) started being used to describe Y people born in X. And that’s how X-Y cuisine gets its name.

Name the actor and the movie!

Answer: Its David Bowie!!!!
In the Last Temptation of Christ.
And yes, he is quite unrecognisable here.

Both these questions should be sitters. As is evident from the first question, Think Airplanes.

1.

Αρχαίο Πνεύμ' αθάνατο, αγνέ πατέρα
του ωραίου, του μεγάλου και τ'αληθινού,
κατέβα, φανερώσου κι άστραψ'εδώ πέρα
στην δόξα της δικής σου γης και τ'ουρανού.
Στο δρόμο και στο πάλεμα και στο λιθάρι,
στων ευγενών Αγώνων λάμψε την ορμή,
και με τ' αμάραντο στεφάνωσε κλωνάρι
και σιδερένιο πλάσε κι άξιο το κορμί.
Κάμποι, βουνά και θάλασσες φέγγουν μαζί σου
σαν ένας λευκοπόρφυρος μέγας ναός,
και τρέχει στο ναό εδώ, προσκυνητής σου,
Αρχαίο Πνεύμ' αθάνατο, κάθε λαός.
