Nice quiz and great concept, but I struggled with some of the US-specific history questions like the "Fireside Chats" and "CSS Virginia". I'll be looking out for the next installments!

Great quiz, but is it really important to have to type Lyndon or Andrew? I think that if you get that far, you know enough to spend the extra second to type one of the two. Also, please accept "Saddam," as "Hussein" wasn't his surname.

@ adhair You made some good points. I changed it to just "Johnson" and accept either "Saddam" or "Hussein". I always assumed Hussein was his surname but found that neither is his surname. Here was an interesting article in case anyone is interested in the debate over what to call Saddam Hussein: http://www.ctv.ca/CTVNews/Specials/20021120/saddam_hussein_name_021120/

In a tale of "random sporcle coincidences", I found a baseball signed by Aleksei Leonov in an antique store Ann Arbor not but three days ago. Otherwise I'd have no idea who he is.

On a more solemn note, I feel compelled to suggest that everyone, Americans especially, should familiarize themselves with the sad details of the My Lai Massacre.

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this quiz, but I'm still not quite sure why a quiz styled for St Patrick's Day should come out on St David's Day, instead of 17 days later!

March 1: Ohio became the 17th state (1803), Nebraska became the 37th state (1687), Yellowstone became the world's first national park (1871), Australian Army (1901) is formed, Charles Lindbergh's baby is kidnapped (1932), Hoover Dam is completed (1936), Yahoo! was incorporated (1995). Fun quiz!

The cosmonaut's name was used as the name for the Soviet spaceship in the movie 2010. So what do I guess? The name that Roy Scheider says he thought was going to be used when talking to the Russian diplomat at the VLA - 'Titov'.

As one of the handful of people who answered March 18, I can now tell my parents that my 2 trips to Space Camp were worth it. @guyborab - FYI the 3 cosmonauts we learned about in lessons on history/the space race were Gagarin, Leonov, & Tereshkova.

Technically Dred Scott said that no black people were citizens, not just slaves. It said that blacks were "so far inferior that they had no rights which the white man was bound to respect." So, in the decision, it wasn't just slaves; it was all blacks.

"I once shot a man in Reno, and a bunch more in My Lai." "I think we're done." Thank you, xkcd, for permanently cementing that event in my head.
