	"Empress Blues" has a last name that should be easily guessed... Not that I did that great otherwise.

	Sad to say, but all I could think of was "Mambo" when I saw No. 5.

	WyattsTorch- you beat me. All I could think of with No.5 was Johnnie 5 from Short Circuit.

	Accept "Blair" for Big Brother?

	Neat quiz. Got Jolson from the movie title, not necessarily his own style. And I did not get the "ice pick" question, but once I saw the answer I thought, "You gotta love Sporclers."

	@extranail, except for the fact that he starred in the movie.

	Great quiz. Made me really think. I got stuck on Frankenstein's monster for a little bit. For some reason, the only thing I could come up with was the author even though I knew that was wrong....then I finally put it together, "Ah..Karloff.".

	Tough but clever and fun. Of the nine I missed, only one did I have any clue--the other 8 I'd bever have gotten. Initially I thought what's with Ice Pick? I tried all the polar explorers I could think of, clearly without luck. After the quiz I googled it--very clever, both a historic artifact AND a band name. A two-fer!

	Yeah only some women. Call the ACLU if you'd like.

	Really great quiz. I was stumped for a lot of them. I could only remember their first name, like, "Bonnie"? I had a sensory overload.

	I'm pretty surprised Russell was least-guessed. If you know anything about him, that one is very easy to get based on the clue. Whereas the clue for Haile Selassie (who's probably less well-known) is pretty out there.

	Managed an international mix from (assuming) a European viewpoint. Absolutely brilliant.

	Great quiz. Trotsky was killed with an ice axe, not an ice pick, BTW.

	I saw 'ice pick' and typed Mercader. Such a sporcler.

	mattias:	Feb 24th, 2012 at 23:11 GMT		-1 points
	Very nice quiz. But I am quite surprised that a certain austrian born in 1889 didn't appear here...

	I actually groaned when I saw the answer for 'ice pick'. Fun quiz.

	No matter how many times I typed "mcarthy" with one c, it just wouldn't take it.......I shook my fist at the screen when I saw my mistake.

	I saw ice pick and thought of Basic Instinct.

	Fun quiz. Boy, do I feel stupid for typing in Sidney Greenstreet for Fat Man!

	andrew7taylor:	Feb 25th, 2012 at 21:15 GMT		-1 points
	Possible bonus answer: January 18th, 1871. Birth of the modern united Germany.

	I knew it was Alexander Fleming who created penicillin but all I could think of was Alexander Graham Bell (though his creation of the telephone was pretty amazing too!).

	Bummer, no Lou Bega bonus for (Mambo) No. 5. =(

	Typed in Bonnie but nothing. As Clyde was first name why not Bonnie
