The Lucky 13 oak ridge print giveaway. DONE.

So, I have this beautifully made and preserved Oak Ridge print that was procured from one of our illustrious Trusted Cultivators that I'm going to give away in a contest.
Here are the guidelines: This will go on until someone wins. IN ORDER TO WIN YOU MUST MEET ALL OF THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS:
YOU MUST BE OVER 18 YEARS OLD.
YOU MUST HAVE BEEN A MEMBER FOR AT LEAST 30 DAYS.
YOU NEED TO LIVE IN A STATE WHERE IT IS LEGAL TO CONDUCT MICROSCOPIC STUDY OF ACTIVE PRINTS AND BE ABLE TO LEGALLY RECEIVE THEM.
AND I HOPE THAT IF YOU EVER FIND YOURSELF IN POSSESSION OF MANY FINE PRINTS THAT YOU WILL PASS THEM ON FREELY.
I also only want to ship to the U.S. this time because customs forms sketch me out. (sorry international folks, I still love ya')
With that said, The winner has to post ALL the answers in one post. You can't have 13 posts with an answer in each because it will make it too difficult for the judge to dig through the myriad of posts. I repeat. Put your answers all in one post. In the proper order if you want to win.
In order to make this as fair as possible and to avoid any butt hurtedness, I have enlisted the help of our delightfully charming and model citizen efrog to be the judge of this contest. She is in possession of a PM that contains all of the answers to the following contest questions.
THIS MEANS THAT SHE IS HEREBY NAMED: THE ALMIGHTY DESTROYER OF FOOLISH HOPES AND SHE WHO SITS ON THE THRONE OF JUDGMENT
There are 13 questions that I hope will inspire you to learn a few neat, trivial little facts and that will hopefully entertain you as well. Remember that it's not always the kill, but the thrill of the chase.
Here we goooooooooooo....... 
1: According to a popular classic rock song, there is a brook with a tree nearby. In the tree there is something doing something. What is in the tree and what is it doing?
2:What is meant by 'The Potential of Hydrogen'? and is it important to a mycologist?
3: What is the implied occupation of Savage Henry in the H. Thompson story, "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas"?
4: What is often referred to as the universal solvent and why?
5: On a standard six sided die (dice), the number of dots on opposing sides always adds up to what number?
6: In the classic Alfred Hitchcock thriller "Psycho", what was used for blood in the shower scene?
7: What color would a zebra be if you shaved off all of it's fur/hair?
8: Technically the banana fruit is a what? And the banana 'tree' is a what?
9: Every month that begins on a Sunday will have one of these? What is it?
10: The word avacado comes from the aztec word ahuacate or ahuactl and means what?
11: What TYPE of disease do many scientist think could possibly wipe out the cavendish banana within 30 years. (The cavendish is the most commonly sold banana in all U.S. grocery stores and this is not a trick question.)
12: What is Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliaphobia?
13: No word in the ENGLISH language rhymes with orange. According to my research, there are three more words like it that lack rhyming partners. Name at least one of them.
Good luck y'all and most of all have fun. I'll check for typo's but the final determination of the winner falls to efrog so that there aren't any questions about my being bias or anything.

The fur is a separate entity all together from the skin. This is quite common in equine species. growing up we had a registered appaloosa that was completely white (they are supposed to have spots), and she did, but they were on her skin, not in her fur. a zebras stripes are like a finger print, no two zebra have the same pattern, and their skin is much the same way. Its all in the genetics.
