	As always, this was a fun quiz. I'm really starting to like these kinds of quizzes.

	BigKuntry42:	Jul 11th, 2010 at 04:25 GMT		5 points
	Kind of sad that only such a small percentage got a hero like MacArthur.

	Crescendo_Ampio:	Jul 11th, 2010 at 04:40 GMT		6 points
	I love these quizzes. It might be worthing noting in the clue for Senator Inouye that, in addition to being the 2nd oldest current senator, he is also the most senior senator and president pro tempore of the senate, since the death of Robert Byrd.

	these are always fun. shows your a lot of wellrounded knowledge to be able to get these

	It's my life goal to one day replace The Donald on this quiz.

	Beefy:	Jul 11th, 2010 at 05:10 GMT		9 points
	It took me a while to get DM. I didn't realize he was a Medal of Honor winner. If you'd used the "I shall return" quote about the Philippines, it would have been a no brainer.

	Stillwater100:	Jul 11th, 2010 at 05:15 GMT		5 points
	Danny DeVito, David Sedaris and Dwight Yoakam all in the same quiz? You've made me a very happy Sporcler tonight, Ben.

	rck5:	Jul 11th, 2010 at 05:25 GMT		24 points
	Win for accepting "The Hoff".

	jefe_:	Jul 11th, 2010 at 05:31 GMT		6 points
	Win for Dweezil Zappa. Couldn't remember MacArthur's first name though.

	Hahaha. First thing I thought of when I saw the quiz title was "DZ has to be Dweezil Zappa!"

	bumbles:	Jul 11th, 2010 at 09:03 GMT		6 points
	Dweezil? Blimey if that isn't cruelty to children, nothing is!

	Hazl:	Jul 11th, 2010 at 11:03 GMT		19 points
	bumbles: it could be worse. Dweezil's siblings are Moon Unit, Ahmet Emuukha Rodan and Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen. Seriously. Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen Zappa. You'd have to be Frank Zappa's kid to pull that one off.

	Can you accept "Deng Xiaopeng"? That's how I've always seen his Romanicized name spelled out.

	dlutz77539:	Jul 11th, 2010 at 12:29 GMT		1 point
	Don Johnson used to be one of the biggest stars. Now 1/2 of people haven't even heard of him?

	If only I could learn to spell "Aykroyd," my sporcle standings would rise considerably!

	oogie20:	Jul 11th, 2010 at 12:47 GMT		15 points
	"He MAY be best known for playing Harry Potter on the big screen"? I'd argue that FAR more people recognize him from his role as "Mark" in 2001's "The Tailor of Panama."

	BonnieH:	Jul 11th, 2010 at 12:52 GMT		4 points
	@Phillyfan362: Accepting last names only kind of defeats the concept of this type of quiz. I didn't do very well on this one, but I do like these quizzes. Maybe someday I'll learn how to spell Dan AYkroyd's name. I always forget that first "y".

	You can't mock the Zappa kids for having funny names, because they had a musical genius for a father. FZ ruled.

	cocky:	Jul 11th, 2010 at 14:12 GMT		1 point
	I'd have had a much better score, but I couldn't spell A, I, X or Y.

	JM001:	Jul 11th, 2010 at 14:35 GMT		1 point
	Ahh see as a brit I saw DT and just thought Alan Sugar (I now know it's a spinoff, but I don't really watch some TV so cut me some slack). I did rubbish, but I'm not American, which accounts for about 2/3 of what I missed I think...

	tbmusicmaker:	Jul 11th, 2010 at 14:51 GMT		3 points
	I would be willing to bet more than 26% would get "DS" if it stood for Dwight Schrute.

	Kroxquo:	Jul 11th, 2010 at 14:59 GMT		3 points
	If I could spell Inouye, my score would be better on a lot of quzzes

	mrgenova:	Jul 11th, 2010 at 16:02 GMT		21 points
	When I got to DZ, I figured, "Oh, the last name is Zappa. I'll just try a bunch of 'D' names with it and maybe I'll get it right." Boy, was I ever wrong.

	dtherfel:	Jul 11th, 2010 at 16:03 GMT		7 points
	@tbmusicmaker: I would be willing to bet that more than 26% would get "DS" if people tended to read better books. SEDARIS!

	JimmyJazz25B:	Jul 11th, 2010 at 16:15 GMT		7 points
	All I could come up with for DL was Demi Lovato, I was reasonably certain that was incorrect.

	muse:	Jul 11th, 2010 at 16:40 GMT		-2 points
	i misspell aykroyd and denzel every time.. always think hes denzil.. great quiz nonetheless.

	paddy26:	Jul 11th, 2010 at 18:16 GMT		-1 points
	I guessed Dos Cities for the Dickens one.

	If you mentioned the airport named after him, I would've got MacArthur.

	tourbillon:	Jul 11th, 2010 at 20:23 GMT		1 point
	I tried so many different spellings of Inouye and didn't manage to come up with the right one. And I can't believe I missed Debbie Gibson -- I was only thinking of guys, for some reason. Also I thought it was spelled Dweezle. Oops.

	whitemale_98:	Jul 11th, 2010 at 20:24 GMT		1 point
	That's Debra Gibson, not Debbie. Just ask her.

	JohnJF:	Jul 11th, 2010 at 21:04 GMT		3 points
	^^^Ask anyone else and it's Debbie.

	WKS:	Jul 11th, 2010 at 22:02 GMT		2 points
	Poor Inouye. He just became President pro tempore and no one knows him? Also poor Frank Zappa's children. Moon Unit.

	SanityLapse:	Jul 11th, 2010 at 22:59 GMT		2 points
	Wow, I had no idea that Dwight Yoakam was a singer (and primarily that). I've only ever known him as an actor.

	mccabebabe:	Jul 11th, 2010 at 22:59 GMT		-3 points
	:- I had no idea how to spell Deng Xiapeng :(

	jme:	Jul 11th, 2010 at 23:15 GMT		4 points
	Pity so few people recognize Deng Xiaoping, who's the most influential person on this list.

	doxiepaine:	Jul 11th, 2010 at 23:56 GMT		2 points
	I couldn't even get Daniel Boone. What is wrong with me that I can't even get a historical icon?
