1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 -- I suspected the answer to T/C, but it was a raw guess and I guessed wrong.
 
Yes, I did know that JK, about the Arc de Triomphe.. however.. the first time I saw Paris (been there twice).. I hadn't realized the first trip that there is a museum inside.. I thought it was just a stone monument.


1,2 3 and 7.. ;)
Thanks!
 
I got 1, 2, 4, 5 and 7. I missed T or C. The expression I'm familiar with is, "The Screaming Abdabs", without the additional "a" but it may be a regional difference.

PG, I didn't know that there was a museum inside the Arc de Triumph.
