	Who else typed in "Howard Shore" immediately upon seeing "film score composer"?

	reicherm:	Feb 25th, 2010 at 19:43 GMT	3 points
	you should maybe just accept howard johnson

	Make "Howard Johnson" (no 's) acceptable?

	Havok3595:	Feb 25th, 2010 at 19:46 GMT	2 points
	The Howard Johnson's that used to be near where I grew up was referred to as Howard Johnson's, but all the signs said Howard Johnson, so I think the plea for that being acceptable is valid.

	"Network" character who was as mad as hell and not going to take it anymore? (Not to be confused with Glenn Beck. Wait, actually very confusable with Glenn Beck.)

	It's minor, but there's no apostrophe in "Howards End"

	I'm with you, Detektor- I did exactly the same thing.

	chemistrythisis:	Feb 25th, 2010 at 20:05 GMT	3 points
	Opie Taylor.. Richie Cunningham.

	jasperwyld:	Feb 25th, 2010 at 20:08 GMT	1 point
	@Detektor: Ditto. James Newton Howard's name wasn't familiar to me, but apparently he's the guy who replaced Howard Shore as composer for King Kong, which is random.

	@chemistrythisis, "Little Opie Cunningham" is a SNL reference: http://snltranscripts.jt.org/82/82cfilm.phtml

	Why is 'Lea Thompson' in 'quotes'?

	rockgolf:	Feb 25th, 2010 at 20:28 GMT	2 points
	James Newton Howard was also, for a short while in the late-70s, the keyboard player in the Elton John Band. (For example, on the album Rock of the Westies.) Think about that...

	Clint Howard sits in his room staring at the screen. Ron again. It's always Ron! I'm an actor too, you know! Doesn't anyone remember "Gentle Ben"?!? And it was me at Mission Control in Apollo XIII, not Ron! not Ron...

	I typed Mo instead of Moe. Ugh.

	Moe better blues?

	miyomiyo1:	Feb 25th, 2010 at 21:02 GMT	8 points
	Shouldn't the title of the quiz be "Famous Howards", plural?

	no howard schnellenberger?

	Howard Jones is still making music; his hair isn't quite so outrageous these days but he's still good!

	Sporcle gods, I must say that was a masterful pun on the front page!

	There are many things I look forward to being described as after I die. "Adulterous and later headless" is not one of them.

	DaHumorist:	Feb 25th, 2010 at 21:59 GMT	6 points
	What about Howard Hawks, director of His Girl Friday, The Big Sleep, Scarface, etc?

	KevinF:	Feb 25th, 2010 at 22:25 GMT	2 points
	Reminds me of the Whose Line Is It Anyway 100th episode Song Styles to the guy named Howard, where the tempo unexpectedly doubled. H! O! R! W! A! R! D!

	drn211:	Feb 25th, 2010 at 22:27 GMT	1 point
	Two bonuses...Howie Long and Howard University. Also based on the source Howie Mandel is also a bonus but it isn't coming up when you type his name in.

	JohnJF:	Feb 25th, 2010 at 22:40 GMT	3 points
	I sense I'm not the only one who didn't know the 25th Australian PM but knew the hotel chain. Helped my score though.

	Frank Howard was a pretty darn good homerun hitter for the Senators, also won rookie of the year.

	when asked to name a famous howard by immediate answer was Howard Carter - the man who discovered Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922. But, alas, he was not mentioned in amongst these other Howards. What a pity that a great man like he was is no longer recognised for what he did on Sporcle.

	I got John Howard when typing in Johnson. Then I went back in and reentered Howard Johnson and got it.

	Really? Only 10% got Howard Roark? I personally don't like the Fountainhead at all, but i was under the impression it was a well known book that's often required reading in high school.

	Poor James Newton Howard. He did The Village - one of my all time favorite scores. M. Night Shyamalan is fond of working with him.

	Jono_:	Feb 26th, 2010 at 00:07 GMT	-1 points
	no Jimmy Howard? :P
