Xanadu is correct for #2. #5 is still not answered, but some good guesses, you've got to think of where they could've acquired this guy from... #6 is not Hollywood, either.

That leaves these questions remaining:

3. What fraternity, established at William and Mary Smith College in 1776, is considered the first American fraternity?

5. What pitcher was sent down to the minors a month after he was acquired by the NY Yankees for twelve million dollars?

6. Where is the "Guinness World of Records" Museum located?
