	Could you change the URL? I saw it right away and knew the answer before I started the quiz.

	I didn't get the key word. Neither did 49% of fellow quiz takers. I no longer feel that bad.

	Brooklyn, George Washington, and London were enough to figure it out.

	@Drofter: Have you ever read your kids a Curious George book? "This is George. He lived in Africa. He was a good little monkey, and always very curious." - H.A. Rey, Curious George, 1941 (Do your kids a favour and expose them to the timeless books, not the multimedia franchise.)

	Rossipotamus:	Mar 17th, 2010 at 06:13 GMT		13 points
	You should take your kids outside and go for a hike or sometihng.

	I didn't get a lot of the key ones early, so it took me a fair while to get the connected. London was the key link. Sadly, I then missed 'Sydney Harbour' (tried Parramatta river) and 'Brooklyn'

	I don't understand the answer for "howl at the moon" ???

	mybeaglebelle:	Mar 17th, 2010 at 12:42 GMT		5 points
	This is bad... I couldn't remember the Call of the Wild author, and I read that book about a month ago. Fail.

	Big up for the Christine Chapel reference.

	@lwfc: the word "bay" can mean to bark or howl loudly, and it's typically used in the context of wolves "baying at the moon"

	Sporclers, I'm curious: do you like these kinds of quizzes? Would you like to see more? If so, vote this comment up.

	I would like to see more of these. I didn't understand the basic set-up of the quiz, i.e., that the common link is a word that can follow each word. An explanation of the gimmick of the quiz would be appreciated by newcomers like myself.

	You should accept GW for George Washington. I lived in DC for 7 years...everyone refers to the school as GW. That's how they refer to the brdige also, come to think of it.

	man, I kept trying spelling variations on "Los Angeles Coliseum" until I got the "key" clue and went back and felt like an idiot

	cjmulrain:	Mar 17th, 2010 at 15:22 GMT		13 points
	Am I the only one who tried "LA Coliseum" & "Ebbets Field" before I realized they just wanted "Brooklyn"?

	cjmulrain:	Mar 17th, 2010 at 15:23 GMT		2 points
	apparently not - as soon as I posted my last comment I saw smellwrench's haha.

	Maybe change the language on the "covered" answer to something like "...or what the Beatles did to an Isley Brother's song." A song can be either a cover, or a covered version of another band's song. Or just have it accept "cover." Sorry to be picky.

	cryptopian:	Mar 17th, 2010 at 17:35 GMT		2 points
	I like the way that getting the connection can help you get some other clues. I wouldn't have had a clue on the Sydney one. Good quiz. :-D

	mellybmel:	Mar 17th, 2010 at 18:25 GMT		2 points
	Yeah, "Chavez Ravine" didn't work, either...I "did" this quiz, but didn't "get" it until the end. Ouch, brain. That means, good one.

	Icicle:	Mar 17th, 2010 at 18:57 GMT		-3 points
	...What? I didn't get it at all. :S

	I couldn't get it to take "Sydney Harbor", then saw the answer spelled "harbour". I tried it again and it took Harbor. I hope is wasn't misspelling Sydney, esp. since it is an answer on other Sporcle quizzes.

	Sad to say I LIVE in Philly and even after I knew what I was looking for I didn't get Walt....But then again I use the Tacony/Palmyra.

	I like quizzes like this. The hidden theme is a nice touch. Well done!

	For LA Dodgers I kept trying Los Angeles Coliseum. I mean, they weren't the LA Dodgers when they played in Brooklyn.

	@BobM - cheers

	samm:	Mar 18th, 2010 at 00:55 GMT		-2 points
