<ranger-rules>darkdemon34 with the win on question #2

In 1996, Mustang fans were expecting the 5.8L, 351 in³ V-8 to make its return to the regular production. However, this is not what they got. In the GT, the 5.0 engine was replaced by a 215 hp 4.6 L SOHC "Modular" V8 engine.

Pitcairn Island was discovered in 1767 by the British and settled in 1790 by the Bounty mutineers and their Tahitian companions. Pitcairn was the first Pacific island to become a British colony (in 1838) and today remains the last vestige of that empire in the South Pacific. - the CIA world factbook

Question #5
What is the name of the vampire (Movie name or actor's name, either answer counts) in the movie "Moon Child"?

Kei

or Hyde w/e

Hideto Takarai

on another level it's about the transience of life and the value of happiness, which is shown to us through the presence of the vampire Kei (Hyde), who is forever trapped in his youth. Yes, there's a vampire. But the story isn't actually about the vampire, it's about Sho (Gackt). - confusing little clip provided by IMDB

(fun movie)

a winner is darkdemon :-)
