Alfred Dreyfus was an artillery officer, not naval. Good quiz, though.

Add an 's' on the end of the answer for 9 October and you get an Oscar winner whose birthday is 29 October. Wise not to include both I think.

Managed to get Castellaneta, but was never going to get Knievel right no matter how many times I tried.

Nice quiz, but if I could make one minor criticism, I think cinema is slightly over-represented here; if you don't know much about it, that's nearly a quarter of the answers you've got no chance of getting.

you're really not going to accept Bonnie for Bonnie & Clyde?? that's how they're known, not Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow.

Is this a sporcle quiz or a spelling test? I knew the people, I just couldn't spell half of them.

Interesting quiz and clues. I'd pick a couple different choices: John Lennon instead of Dreyfus on the 9th, Buster Keaton instead of Heston on the 4th... I'm sure everyone has other examples of people they think more note-and-quiz-worthy. Still, good quiz!

Echoing joe_in_indy, I'd suggest Snoop Dogg on the 20th instead of the architect. That's also my birthday.

@ChileNoseJam - 5 out of 31 is just under a sixth rather than nearly a quarter.

I got Bobby Charlton when I went to type in Charlton Heston. Thanks! You did that on purpose, didn't you?

You forgot to list ME - but, then again, I guess Princess Leia IS more famous than I am, and she looks a lot better in a gold bikini.

Let's see how low a comment score I can garner: Hey Sporclers, guess what? Mathematically, I'm probably better than you at this quiz. 66th percentile, 16 correct!

Phillip Pullman? Really I have to share a birthday with him? Those last two books of the His Dark Materials series were out there to say the least.

Capt. Cook and Dostoyevsky were born in October by the Julian calendar but in November by the Gregorian one. Although the Julian calendar was official in the UK and in Russia when they were born, sometimes the birth dates are converted later (that's why Washington's birthday is celebrated on Feb. 22nd although the date of his birth was actually Feb. 11th). Probably other people born in October by either calendar could have been chosen (by the way, that's the case of Christopher Wren, Oct. 20th Julian / Oct. 30th Gregorian).

Very frustrating quiz. It won't accept 'Mohandas K Gandhi'. When I tried to type 'Charlton Heston' it revealed ' another answer which I knew anyway. If you're going to prefer 'Mohandas Gandhi' to the better known 'Mahatma Gandhi', then shouldn't the answer to Oct 23 be Edson Arantes di Nascimento?

I don't know how I missed Nietzsche; I went through the entire Monty Python Philosopher's Song in my head.

Louis-Philippe seemed easy to me, but I guess we just did that chapter. Really surprised to see it least guessed.
