	You mean 'Dilly' isn't a bird???

	Pogues:	May 11th, 2011 at 06:15 GMT		3 points
	______ Sam...mascot....could you be any more vague? Add "cereal" in front of mascot?

	anywherewithyou:	May 11th, 2011 at 06:38 GMT		7 points
	I agree with Pogues. Also, I don't know if "____ bar" was the best clue for that. I think people know that company more just for their chocolate. Or the toiletry brand.

	I was puzzled a bit by the bar and mascot clues as well, but in general, it was pretty fun and easy. Astonished to see the stats--are so few people acquainted with the Ancient Mariner? (One-third as many as those who knoew To Kill a Mockingbird!) Rich Gossage? I guess it's good that many more are familiar with the taint of Jim Crow (a particularly American blot, I think) than Kiwis (a somewhat international fruit, no?), but that's almost a 20% drop-off. I love looking for those big drop-offs and wondering why...

	Oh, and for "mascot" I was racking my brains, going over NCAA sports mascots like Miami's Sebastian the Ibis and Pomona's Cecil Sagehen, thinking "Sam...." South Carolina Sam? A Gamecock? No. Starling Sam? Maybe a junior college? sam the Eagle from the Muppets popped into my head (and dislodged my memory of multiplication tables--thanks, Sam), but that was not it either. Not sure how I finally worked my way around to animated corporate shills FTW.

	@everyone - adding 'cereal' would be.a great idea. Ill suggest it to the Sporcle experts. @ctbrainiacs - the clue for 'Atlanta' says 'NFL Teams, so 'Hawks' doesent work.

	Here in the UK we've never heard of 'robin egg blue' - there's a classic colour called 'duck egg blue' so you should allow both.

	Oh my God, could Bobman1 be more pedantic

	TAR2:	May 11th, 2011 at 13:14 GMT		3 points
	I hope this doesn't mean only 25% have actually tasted a dove bar! Yummmmm!

	Great quiz. My thought was that the clue for Jim BLANK Laws could be more specific, if only because they were horrific, but if the conversion is high, than it fits the theme. Good job.

	Nice variety and great quiz

	I guess Yosemite Sam wasn't a cereal mascot.

	Except that Klondike isn't a bird...

	Sapphire_Hart:	May 11th, 2011 at 22:44 GMT		2 points
	Being clued up on birds helped me guess through typing random bird names for the ones I didn't know, and that was most of them because I'm not American!

	I'm as proud as a peacock!

	The GUARDIANS of Ga'hoole, not owl

	smartypants13:	May 12th, 2011 at 00:22 GMT		2 points
	@periwinkle- Why would a movie title include the word "guardian" twice?

	kbelle:	May 12th, 2011 at 00:36 GMT		0 points
	The book series is called The Guardians of Ga'hoole. The movie was renamed Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'hoole. The first book in the series is just called The Journey which is a bit too blah for a movie title.

	Anyone else try "Spot the loony"?

	Shoot my fault, I missed that it was birds....whooops!!

	Major props for the old-school Genesis shout out.

	Like an idiot, I wanted Captain Jack Black, and had convinced myself that because of blackbirds, that it MUST be the right answer. He'd make a pretty cool pirate.

	its duck egg not robin egg.

	ensiform:	Jul 20th, 2012 at 06:59 GMT		1 point
	People sure like to whine about things they can't figure out. "I missed a perfectly clear connection, therefore it's a fault in the quiz, not my own deficiency." Anyway, I thought this was a great quiz. The clues were just vague enough to be challenging.

	@kbelle: The first book is the Capture, the second one is the Journey. That series was my childhood.
