PETER'S TRIVIA! Day Four.

I really hate trivia, but I have been obsessed with the idea of writing trivia questions entirely from my existing knowledge (ie without research) (except to check that they're right). Here's the fourth day of my 5 Days Of Trivia - without googling or checking the comments, answer as many of these as you can. No cheating!

5) Which set of complex numbers did Jonathan Coulton write a song about?
6) Creationists frequently leave out a few key words when quoting the second law of thermodynamics. Which part do they drop?
7) In the eye of the hurricane, there is:
8) Marine biologists and whale experts have gone on record to confirm that which word is NOT a term meaning "whale penis"?
