	I hope to be a famous Michael someday... OK, not really, because I don't care about fame and don't go by "Michael", but still.

	Let's just say the 'famous johns' quiz was a bit easier...

	Sure put in NY's mayor but not Philly's! Too NY-Centric! HAHA. Couldnt remember the guy who played Kramer's last name for the life of me.

	It should accept just 'Murray' too I think.

	Last night I was watching a feature on the military channel about the casualties during the final hours of WWI and Michael Palin was the host. Didn't know he was in Monty Python. Completely random tie in.

	I normally don't nitpick, but on the homepage it says "No Mikes, Mikeys, etc...just Michaels"...but then you include Michelangelo?!

	el_barto:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 20:08 GMT	52 points
	Why should I have to change my name? He's the one who sucks!

	stinkymcgee:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 20:12 GMT	13 points
	lznyc212: ... and a guy named Chad? I get it, it's like his middle name, or like a clever 2 first name stage name, but his name still ain't Michael

	NoVan:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 20:28 GMT	22 points
	Fer Chrissake, people, I understand that some of you like one or more of these guys. I'm a huge Michael Palin fan myself. But that does NOT mean that it's pathetic when more of them have heard of, say, Michael Phelps.

	sub:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 20:36 GMT	32 points
	I'll be honest with you, I love his music. I do. I'm a Michael Bolton fan. For my money, I don't know if it gets any better than when he sings "When a Man Loves a Woman".

	DonnyB:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 20:39 GMT	17 points
	@lznyc212: Agreed. I even typed in "angelo" after a while just to see if it would work.

	milkmeister:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 20:53 GMT	7 points
	@sub: yeah, when percy sledge does!

	sammyhain2364:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 20:53 GMT	9 points
	For the lead singer of Wham you shouldn't have to type in his last name since the Michael part is understood due to the topic of the quiz

	springmom:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 21:10 GMT	31 points
	Michelangelo was a total genius, but does not belong on this quiz.

	More Schumcaher, less Michelangelo

	Damn you Michael Bay!! Why are we subjected to your movies. Learn how to make movies that don't suck! You are the American Uwe Boll.

	shel99:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 21:40 GMT	13 points
	@springmom: sub is quoting Office Space

	danzam:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 21:42 GMT	9 points
	^^^^^^^ I wholeheartedly agree, all Michael Bay knows is special effects. Forget plot, story, character development, acting, a good script, etc. He'll throw all those away if he can have a big explosion in one of his movies. Hence, why Pearl Harbor sucked and he's doing the god-awful Transformers movies.

	there is a bonus...Founding member of the bowling supergroup 'Supernova'. I have no idea who that is

	spartacat:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 22:51 GMT	3 points
	what? no Michael Schumacher?

	3blindmice:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 22:54 GMT	-1 points
	I love Michael Bolton but missed that one. I don't think that was one of his better known songs but maybe that was the idea. If it would have been How Am I Supposed to Live Without You, I would have gotten it in seconds.

	Robert_Seth:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 23:27 GMT	9 points
	@ Mr. Negative - it's only because Phelps is right at the beginning so some people might not see Jordan. I'm sure the name recognition for both is extremely high.

	wesgd62:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 23:32 GMT	11 points
	I loved all of the Office Space quotes in the comments section. It was a pretty decent quiz overall, except for Michael Franti. I don't think anyone has heard of Spearhead, much less know who their lead singer is.

	Joe_Ball:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 23:43 GMT	4 points
	Why is Back to the Future not in the clue for Fox? I got him, but still?

	Dutch:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 00:16 GMT	2 points
	@drn211 I'm not sure but this could be a kind of Sporcle "gotcha"...now that many know the way to find out about bonus answers, they might be leading us on a wild goose chase trying to track down a bonus answer that doesn't make sense...bowling supergroup?

	Escaho:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 01:19 GMT	-3 points
	Anyone else surprised that there was no Michael Biehn? I mean, the original Kyle Reese from Terminator!
