1) How long did the Hundred Years War last?
1337 to 1453, 116 years.

Ecuador.

Couldn't tell you, I'll have to cheat a little... sheep, it's made from sheep.
4) In which month do Russians celebrate the October Revolution?
November. November 7th, exactly. You have to remember that prior to 1918 the Russians used the Julian calendar, which is 13 off of the Gregorian (our calendar), thus pushing October 25th to November 7th.

I almost think it's squirrel, but don't quote me on that.
6) The Canary Islands in the Pacific are named after what animal?
Canines.
