THE PUZZLE CORNER: APRIL 23, 2016

FUN FACT
Swans and foxes mate for life, and if one precedes the other sadly, there is a good chance the survivor will pass away from a broken heart.

COMMON BONDS
The items in each subset below have something in common. Do you know what it is?

NOTE: For this specific game, we already know everybody listed is an actor.
01. {Tom Selleck, Harrison Ford}
Selleck auditioned for the role of Indiana Jones, but it eventually went to Ford.
02. {Benedict Cumberbatch, Matt Smith}
Cumberbatch auditioned for Doctor Who, but Smith eventually became the eleventh actor in that role. However both will be on screen doctors once Marvel's Doctor Strange movie (staring Cumberbatch) comes out this fall.

TRIVIA TIME
What is the longest English word you can make using only 1 (one) vowel?
Depending upon your feelings on proper names in a game like this, the answer is either MISSISSIPPI or STRENGTH.
