Ok - if I wait for other people to guess at them...It'll be never so, here goes:

1. Because they're from Holland
2. The letter S
3. 22 or 220
4. A River
5. The door wasn't locked
6. Someone built a snow man before the snow melted and the carrot was the nose, the coal was the eyes
7. His car is being delivered & he is walking home (Don't ask me why anyone would ever do that, but that's the answer)

Now: Who is this historical Character? "HOROBOD" (Remember - it's a word puzzle)
