	CC's not in Duck Soup last time I checked

	Yeah...Duck Soup's a Marx Bros. film, isn't it? Why not The Great Dictator or something correct?

	Was headed for a perfect score...then I came to Y and Z....sigh....

	No Q or X? I can think of one Q. Quigley Quagmire, barely known character from Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events.

	I'm surprised 30% of people got the baseball player from UU. He wasn't a very well known closer when he played and he has an odd enough name.

	Isn't Ilyich an accepted spelling for the Tolstoy name? That's how I learned it...

	Diablo11d:	Jul 3rd, 2009 at 09:08 GMT	7 points
	tough quiz. knightley got me confused because spelling wise its kk but pronounced its totally different sounds.

	Dodge:	Jul 3rd, 2009 at 09:11 GMT	2 points
	As a Marlins fan, I knew Urbina, but sometimes spelling is a you-know-what. Also, Rachael Ray is not a chef. She says so herself.

	JoeyV:	Jul 3rd, 2009 at 09:12 GMT	1 point
	I couldnt get RR, I knew who it definitely was but I was thrown off because all the Rachels i have known don't have that second "a."

	I was hoping Lenny Leonard or Carl Carlson would make an appearance

	I love, love, love that a particular former Expos great got a mention here, AND that he's more guessed than two people wildly more important than he is.

	LL has a typo - need a "was" in the clue.

	I only got Urbina because I read an article this afternoon about the Mets signing his son, Juan, to a minor league contract. The Sporcle gods must have been with me earlier today.

	@Addisnow: Okay, so somebody, in the biggest single sporting event in the world, head-butts an opponent with no more provocation than some simple trash talk, and your objection is with AMERICANS?

	DasFengster:	Jul 3rd, 2009 at 09:45 GMT	4 points
	Would've been nice if a real person is used for II, like Ion Iliescu, former Pres. of Romania. I think he is in the head-of-state quiz.

	Giants2082:	Jul 3rd, 2009 at 09:53 GMT	1 point
	@Addisnow: how is the headbutting incident catering to Americans? He headbutted a player from ITALY! (Although even though I am American I still took offense to it because I am bound by my Italian-ness to hate him for it)

	HBar:	Jul 3rd, 2009 at 10:01 GMT	48 points
	Who else tried typing "Arthur Ashe" repeatedly and wondered why it didn't work?

	malonetd:	Jul 3rd, 2009 at 10:11 GMT	13 points
	Did the same thing with Arthur Ashe. I then had to look up his grand slam wins to see if he also applied.

	I tried Arthur Ashe too. I blame crosswords. Does anyone else think Ozzy Osbourne is kind of a cheap answer? I mean, he's "ozzy" precisely because his last name is Osbourne...

	It's pretty strange that more people got Ugueth Urbina than Greta Garbo. Perhaps young'ns not knowing she was Swedish threw them off?

	JoeFish:	Jul 3rd, 2009 at 11:27 GMT	12 points
	I think what Addisnow's trying to say is "Europeans know him as one of the greatest french footballers ever. Americans know him as the guy who headbutted a dude." But seriously, the headbutting was a defining moment in his career. It inspired pop culture references all over and whatnot. I think that makes the incident a worthwhile clue.
