Ben, I never knew that was Billy Zane's character name. Whatever happened to Zane anyway? Also, your Brad Pitt clue says Se7ev |

| Thanks.. fixed... no clue what is going on with Zane... |

| I always find the results hilarious. Brad Pitt is right on top with Barack Obama and Benjamin Franklin. Pop culture goes a long way... |

| The clue obviously points to the correct answer for BJ ('knew'), but coincidentally Brian Jordan also played in both the MLB and NFL. |

| Put a cork in it, Zane! (Even with the air quotes that point to the correct answer, I still think Brian Jordan could/should/would be acceptable for BJ.) |

| Barbara Tuchman? well, come to think of it i guess there aren't that many good BT names. all i can think of is bess truman and becky thatcher (but she's not a real person) |

| Seriously, more people got Brad Pitt from that clue than got the answers for "current pope" and "current president"? |
 | Fidelio: | May 28th, 2010 at 10:52 GMT | | 8 points |
| @quizzle - there's always Billy Bob Thornton. I don't see why the "Bob" should change anything - plenty of these people have middle names that are being ignored. There's also Bonnie Tyler. |

| Barbara Tuchman is a truly big name in historical nonfiction, with two Pulitzers -- I'm quite surprised so few knew her. I'd guess people over 40 scored better on that one. |

| I didn't get Tuchman, but I've heard of her. You didn't have any other authors in there, so she is good just for diversity. The pope was kind of cheating, but the BX options are fairly limited. Nice quiz. |
 | jaymc: | May 28th, 2010 at 14:01 GMT | | 5 points |
| I have no idea how I got Tuchman. Couldn't tell you a thing about her, but the name just sort of came to me. Love when that happens. |

| Anyone else think that there was a slight chance Bob Uecker may have appeared on L.A. Law? Eventually got the right answer. |

| I was a kid in the 80s so I didn't get the LA Law question. I kept trying to remember Roger Dorn's real name but it was still the wrong guy. |
