	George Gipp was the original Gipper. Reagan played him in the Knute Rockne film.

	I'm very disappointed for "Sir Charles" you didn't use "the Round Mound of Rebound." Far superior nickname.

	You should accept both Joseph Merrick and John Merrick as The Elephant Man, since both were widely used throughout his life and thereafter.

	Is "Boney" really a nickname for Napoleon? I hope I'm not alone in having never heard that before.

	@StreetMeat: George Gipp was never in politics, as required by the category. @Fraac: Barbara Windsor wasn't in movies, either.

	I totally tried Dana Carvey for the "master of disguise"

	psacman:	Jan 18th, 2012 at 18:48 GMT		3 points
	NaturalStateReb - "Boney" as in "Bonaparte". You obviously never read the Horatio Hornblower books.

	The Bible uses City of David to refer to Bethlehem. Might be an alternate? (I also tried Florence for that clue... not so much. :) )

	NaturalStateReb, I've certainly come across 'Boney' as well. Always used satirically, far as I know. MSUKent, great mix of answers; I like quizzes that help pull out forgotten knowledge from dark corners of my mind.

	In Canada 'The Rock' refers to Newfoundland. You don't want to piss off the Newfies, they've already lost their cod.

	Triffid:	Jan 18th, 2012 at 19:07 GMT		18 points
	Barbara Windsor not in movies !!!!! She's been in lots. Have you never heard of the "Carry On" films?

	zeppelin71:	Jan 18th, 2012 at 19:19 GMT		5 points
	I thought Robert Evans was The Kid

	Juvo415:	Jan 18th, 2012 at 19:21 GMT		17 points
	I saw the 'Queen of Mean' and first thought "Oh no surely Lisa Lampanelli hasn't reached sporcle status...."

	The quote on the front page is why I chose my username months ago. Five Globes.

	Ayreonaut:	Jan 18th, 2012 at 19:43 GMT		8 points
	I Second the Rock meaning Newfoundland in Canada. I currently live on that rock.

	UIWWildthing:	Jan 18th, 2012 at 19:47 GMT		3 points
	Am I the only one who saw Dr. Death and immediately type pro wrestler Steve Williams?

	patferg74:	Jan 18th, 2012 at 19:50 GMT		10 points
	Not sure which was harder to spell: Schwarzenegger or Kaczynski

	TrueNorth:	Jan 18th, 2012 at 19:56 GMT		18 points
	Come on, everyone knows the Master of Disaster was Apollo Creed.

	You can't accept "Bill Cody" for Buffalo Bill? Cheap

	willwoodlen:	Jan 18th, 2012 at 20:10 GMT		3 points
	Excellent choice to include some silent movie actors in the mix. Nicely done quiz.

	"Griffith Joyner" should work for Flo-Jo. And I support Bethlehem as city of David - after all, that's how it's named in the Bible (German translation at last).

	Napolean's more common nickname was The Little Corporal.
