2. Xerxes the Great was the fourth “King of Kings” of the Achaemenid Dynasty. That means he was the king of what empire?

4. If you were born between December 22 and January 19, you probably know that which zodiac sign is represented by a sea goat?
5. Today is July 26. Happy 60th birthday to one of Time’s 100 most influential people of 2010, who is also the only actor to win an Academy Award and a Golden Raspberry in the same year, for "The Blind Side" and "All About Steve," respectively. Name that actor
