	Like it or not, Barry Bonds is the record holder for home runs, and thus Hank Aaron is #2, not Ruth.

	PieCannon:	Feb 24th, 2009 at 04:31 GMT	6 points
	Second most homeruns in MLB history is actually Hank Aaron since Bonds broke his record.

	Liberal:	Feb 24th, 2009 at 04:32 GMT	-1 points
	as the two said before me. Aaron is second.

	also, "Most Medals in the Olympics" should specify individual, not country. I thought it was looking for country, so I put USSR.

	johnlk:	Feb 24th, 2009 at 04:35 GMT	18 points
	I'm fairly certain the US Justice system does not have the right to declare that Bonds does not have 762 career home runs.

	Actually, this is just a good old fashioned mistake, no commentary was intended, this has been corrected.

	Motrain24--just because a President is impeached doesn't mean they are removed from office.

	[Deleted]:	Feb 24th, 2009 at 04:47 GMT	20 points
	@motrain24: He finished his term because he wasn't convicted, but he was still impeached first.

	The Prince's given name is Henry. "Harry" is a nickname.

	sammyhain2364:	Feb 24th, 2009 at 05:32 GMT	23 points
	One could argue that Aquarius is the second zodiac sign of the calendar year since Capricorn is the active sign when the new year begins.

	jordan:	Feb 24th, 2009 at 05:39 GMT	-2 points
	more more more more more

	debbiedoesnothin:	Feb 24th, 2009 at 06:00 GMT	8 points
	Good quiz. A little something for everyone.

	sevorak:	Feb 24th, 2009 at 06:53 GMT	7 points
	@sammyhain: Yes, there is definitely some ambiguity there. You could switch to the sidereal zodiac which has Aries first. That's not ambiguous.

	Etheridge2:	Feb 24th, 2009 at 07:08 GMT	2 points
	yeah of the calendar year it is aquarius because on jan. 1st Capricorn is the astrological sign and 1/1 is the start of the calendar year so that is first right? Not sure how you can look at it another way?

	Can I get Donitz to be an acceptable alternate spelling for the fuehrer question?

	onetheta:	Feb 24th, 2009 at 07:32 GMT	4 points
	@shorts8617 - the e in Doenitz and Fuehrer are both transliterations of the German 'u umlaut'. They ought to be consistent.

	If you start at Aries then Taurus would be number 2 and Pisces would be 12

	i'm not really sure about amazon being the second longest river http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=7823 there has been a discussion about the lengths of amazon and nile...

	faeryty:	Feb 24th, 2009 at 09:37 GMT	4 points
	@Chumley. First, sammyhain2364 is right, that would make pisces 12. Secondly, the question specifies calender year, so that it the way we look at it.

	Turns out I can't spell Earhart or Pinocchio. Personally I think I did some amazing guesssing for this quiz to get 25.

	There is an error, Dönitz is not accepted as an answer.

	great quiz. good fun!

	The Nile is still generally considered to be the longest river, despite the longstanding efforts of South American scientists to prove otherwise.

	I'm pretty sure that Karl Doenitz was specifically made President of Germany; Hitler's title was denied to him.

	BelowZero:	Feb 24th, 2009 at 14:09 GMT	-1 points
	it should take PA for pennslyvania and 2 turtledoves

	Joe_Ball:	Feb 24th, 2009 at 14:22 GMT	5 points
	It should be Aquarius rather than Pisces, I agree... while chumley has a point on malleable metals, 'malleability' refers to ability to be reshapen by hammer. Therefore mercury isn't very malleable at all.

	Monoclinic:	Feb 24th, 2009 at 14:42 GMT	5 points
	@ Joe Ball: Unless you were inside a very very cold place, say below ooh I don't know -40 °C. I guess then you could twat it with a hammer should you so wish ;-)
