    Which famous physicist, aside from formulating a well-known model of atomic orbitals, also reportedly played as a goalkeeper for his country's amateur football (a.k.a. soccer :rolleyes: ) team in his youth?

    EDIT: Fixed the spelling, it would actually be Niels and not Nils since it's Danish. ;)

    Name all of the so called "Five Good Emperors" of the Roman Empire.

    This should be a softball for those who know their Roman history well. ;)

    A hotell (in the Alps somwhere?) where they were suppsed to play or had just played burned down... or was it Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention... is that close enough? The story is in the lyrics.

    Close enough. It was the burning of the Montreux Casino during a Frank Zappa concert. You may continue Sticker.
