	I saw this quiz and thought, "no, not MrChewyPoo!" I expected to just report the game for deletion. A brilliant swerve. 5 Orcles.

	I loved how typing what I saw for number 10 got me an answer on another one

	Thanks Rockgolf. I am so sick of the other idiot quizzes. This was fun to make. Some that didn't make the cut: "Mixed Martial Arts For Dummies" "Potty Training For Dummies" "Anger Management For Dummies" "Haircutting For Dummies" And my personal favourite: "Divorce For Dummies, 3rd Edition" (I lol'd long time at the "3rd Edition" part...)

	I had the EXACT SAME THOUGHT as rockgolf, but of course, it's a great quiz. I got all but the first one- I thought of "metalwork" and "soldering", but I just couldn't think of the word "weld".

	rockgolf:	Aug 13th, 2010 at 17:07 GMT		17 points
	I tried to write "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Books For DUMMIES" but couldn't find a publisher.

	Hejman:	Aug 14th, 2010 at 02:50 GMT		7 points
	Pure awesomeness. I know have weekend plans- welding together a chicken coop and a beehive while talking on my new iPhone!

	Hejman:	Aug 14th, 2010 at 04:53 GMT		12 points
	That is, I NOW have weekend plans- I hate it when I find a typo too late to correct it. Perhaps I need "Sporcle comments for Dummies."

	Calling people dummies is a sure way to help them handle depression.

	missmay:	Aug 14th, 2010 at 15:41 GMT		45 points
	Question: If you're a dummy, should you really be attempting to learn to weld? I mean, is that safe?

	puckett86:	Aug 14th, 2010 at 18:31 GMT		8 points
	There should be a Creating Sporcle Quizzes for Dummies book. You could probably write it MrChewypoo. Good quiz!

	Kicking222:	Aug 14th, 2010 at 18:55 GMT		15 points
	Not just is this a darn good quiz, but it's producing some pretty awesome comments- I've voted up pretty much every one in the thread. It's like the fun of two quizzes for the price of one! (Of course, the price is "free", but that's neither here nor there.)

	c_sandiego:	Aug 15th, 2010 at 00:07 GMT		10 points
	Brilliant quiz. I especially like that you accepted 'old age' for the menopause one, although my mother may feel differently.

	MrChewypoo:	Aug 16th, 2010 at 14:03 GMT		5 points
	@redsxfenway: That was my same thought for "Anger Management for Dummies". You talkin' to me? YOU TALKIN' TO ME?!?

	smreidy113:	Aug 17th, 2010 at 13:01 GMT		8 points
	Wow, doesn't seem like #9's title is very beneficial towards the cause.

	Theron:	Aug 18th, 2010 at 03:37 GMT		15 points
	Man, I really hope that #7 is aimed at people thinking of going under the knife, and not practitioners. Although if the latter, "Open Heart Surgery for Dummies" would be awesome.

	Ellix:	Aug 18th, 2010 at 04:19 GMT		4 points
	I wonder if there's a 'Safe Driving for Dummies' book.

	ezois:	Aug 18th, 2010 at 15:42 GMT		3 points
	I wondered about #7 too. I got the menopause one by typing "growing old". I'm not sure I'd need a book to do that. :)

	remskray:	Aug 18th, 2010 at 18:45 GMT		4 points
	Menopause For Dummies, 2nd Edition...if there were ever a book I would want to put a decoy cover on to go out in public with - that is it. Forget Twilight, I'd carry that crap with pride given the choice between the two.

	tnty4life:	Aug 18th, 2010 at 20:03 GMT		4 points
	For #10, the first thought that I had was "Apples, for dUMMIES.

	73_99:	Aug 19th, 2010 at 02:21 GMT		3 points
	i typed in "old" and that got accepted for "menopause for dummies".

	sjerg:	Aug 19th, 2010 at 02:30 GMT		3 points
	only one i missed was depression for dummies... sad face):

	MRL:	Aug 21st, 2010 at 10:34 GMT		3 points
	@missmay: Beekeeping doesn't seem like a very good idea for dummies either.

	rcamps:	Aug 24th, 2010 at 23:55 GMT		5 points
	I thought maybe grandma was trying to run away and guessed senility for dummies?

	WredAguyW:	Aug 26th, 2010 at 01:45 GMT		0 points
	You know, if Sporcle had some kind of Dummies reading, and they required people to read it upon creating an account, it just might help filter out all these crap quizzes made by ten year olds that we keep getting.

	rlnintendo:	Aug 28th, 2010 at 19:38 GMT		6 points
	I thought that number 6 was vacation... boy was I wrong, and, MrChewypoo, this was a great quiz, and I nominated it. Hope it gets published!

	kbowe:	Sep 5th, 2010 at 01:27 GMT		6 points
	I would be terrified if I ever saw #7 in a surgeon's office.

	1337star:	Sep 7th, 2010 at 03:47 GMT		4 points
	It's nice to know they have books now to help me become depressed and go through menopause.

	imclala:	Sep 28th, 2010 at 20:32 GMT		4 points
	A couple alternate answers you should consider accepting: "botox" or "facelift" for "cosmetic surgery," since that is the procedure shown on the cover, and "aging" for "menopause." I wasn't going to suggest that one until I saw in the comments that you accepted "old" or "growing old." Great quiz!

	googlebird:	Sep 29th, 2010 at 04:09 GMT		3 points
	In all seriousness, I would have bought "Sporcle for Dummies" when I started making quizzes. I would still like to look up a few things, if I could. Good quiz. I love to see something different.

	jefrunner:	Sep 29th, 2010 at 14:57 GMT		3 points
	I'm pretty sure that I've seen Rocket Science for Dummies somewhere...

	MrChewypoo:	Sep 29th, 2010 at 15:53 GMT		3 points
	Wow! Editor's pick! Thank you! I just had a realization... what if you put "is" in front of "for Dummies". Changes the context quite a bit!

	FPSporClub:	Sep 29th, 2010 at 19:46 GMT		4 points
	Giobbi thinks that #10 should be Measuring Apples for Dummies.

	FPSporClub:	Sep 29th, 2010 at 19:49 GMT		0 points
	@Hejman Woooooooooooow. Pleeeeeaaaaase... spooooooorts.

	Spacecow:	Sep 29th, 2010 at 21:27 GMT		6 points
	Bowling for Dummies is one of my favorite 90s pop-punk bands.

	GeorgiaPeach:	Sep 29th, 2010 at 23:40 GMT		4 points
	There was enough demand for the second edition of the menopause one?

	MrChewypoo:	Sep 30th, 2010 at 01:47 GMT		10 points
	@GeorgiaPeach: Wait for it... They missed the periods.

	DogMagic:	Oct 21st, 2010 at 20:34 GMT		2 points
	Good quiz, though I find it hilarious that I got the Menopause book by typing in "old."

	dolphinspew:	Oct 22nd, 2010 at 01:12 GMT		6 points
	Good quiz! I always thought they needed to make a book ventriloquism for dummies.

	daHOOK:	Oct 29th, 2010 at 03:17 GMT		4 points
	Please. They prefer the term Ventriloquist's Assistant.

	alsanali:	Nov 15th, 2010 at 01:36 GMT		3 points
	Wait... are you telling me that "Measuring the Circumference of Apples for Dummies" isn't a book? Someone needs to write that one ASAP.
