4. A CSI fan?
Amazing to me how many words have blood as a root:

sacred
consecrate
desecrate
sanguine
sacroscanct

PS: I Love your avatar, but can't remember the name of those creatures from Princes Mononoke.

14. Is that the main ingredient in frappuccinos?
Or did you mean frack, as in Battlestar Galactica?

BTW,

frappuccino,
frack,
Battlestar, and,
Galactica

were also not in the spell checker.

19. Opposite of Transexual?
Yea I could see that as a word,

but I'd have to defer to Webster's.

Otherwise it's just a sniglet.

24. It's a word,
It's kind of a neologism though. It's only been used for the last couple of years, really.
