Yes.  And the word "different" above is an important one.  If you know C,
C++, C#, and Java, you don't really know 4 different languages, but 4 very
similar and closely related languages.

C, Haskell, Lisp, Prolog and Smalltalk would be a good combination.

Yes, although I personally find that projects which are not well suited
for Common Lisp are usually of the kind which are not worth doing anyway.  :-)

As always, YMMV.
