	I can't believe I missed Danica Patrick. Just saw "car racing" and assumed i had no idea.

	Rose:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 04:24 GMT	13 points
	Really? Seriously? "St. Patrick" doesn't count for "Saint Patrick"? Please...

	Judgment is spelled wrong in the "Terminator 2" title.

	Good times! Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

	There was also a Bill Patrick on ESPN. I think he does hockey on VS now.

	I had no idea Spongebob's friend had a last name. Thanks for making my life complete Sporcle! That quiz was harder than I thought it was going to be!

	The picture on the front page should be a shamrock rather than a four-leaf clover. St. Patrick's big thing was that he used the shamrock to teach about the Christian concept of the trinity - three leaves, one plant.

	Is it sad that I know Patrick Duffy better as the dad from Step By Step? ...probably.

	radish:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 06:13 GMT	2 points
	Patrick O'Brian? Now, that's an irish name.

	debbiedoesnothin:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 06:51 GMT	0 points
	I can't believe I missed McDreamy. I got Duffy stuck in my head and couldn't get it out.

	I was hoping that St. Padraig would be accepted for St. Patrick since that is the Irish spelling. And this coming from an American.

	davidr:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 08:52 GMT	11 points
	@croissantfever: Patrick Swayze is spelt correctly, surly or otherwise.

	davidr:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 09:00 GMT	2 points
	@Hungover: We'll do you a deal. You lose the American race-car driver, the basketball, baseball and ice-hockey players, the American TV presenter and maybe the Senator, too, and we'll give up our "TV guy". (But do you mean the one from "Star Trek" or the one from "The Prisoner"?)

	davidr:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 09:04 GMT	3 points
	No Partick Thistle FC to give the dyslexic Sporcler some love?

	davidr:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 09:08 GMT	1 point
	@J^f: The Irish is "Naomh Pádraig". There's no reason to use the Irish spelling of his name if you're not going to use the Irish for "saint", too, and there's no particular reason to do that if you're speaking English.

	beatrix kiddo:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 09:24 GMT	1 point
	@davidr. kudos! partick thistle needs to be a bonus answer, despite being scottish on st patrick's day.

	Peanut:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 09:48 GMT	2 points
	@Hungover - Davidr's already said most of it, but also, both the British actors were in TV shows that were popular both sides of the Atlantic. We have more right to complain with all the sports stars :P

	@davidr: Which guy is the baseball guy?

	davidr:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 11:08 GMT	3 points
	@TLC: Um. I meant the American footballer. cough And didn't you know that St Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland with a baseball bat?

	gelnika:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 11:42 GMT	3 points
	I thought I'd been clever when I guessed the former UN ambassador one as Jeanne Kirkpatrick. Kirk-Patrick! Sadly there was another Patrick there before her.

	mkgrenwel:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 12:43 GMT	3 points
	Wow, how did I not realize that. I was about to try to defend myself and say I meant Patrick Ewing, not Bobby Ewing, when I looked again and saw he was on there.

	gopaladins:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 12:59 GMT	1 point
	@davidr: you say "swayze" is spelled correctly. yet it says "swazye". i hope i'm not missing some joke.

	zalagreensbury:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 13:06 GMT	3 points
	lol, I'm writing Patrick Star like he's a real person, I have no idea why I knew his whole name but whatever, I just thought that was cute.

	Loud:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 13:19 GMT	3 points
	The answer for Doogie "Houser" (it's Howser) isn't accepting his last name alone like the others, only the full name.

	davidr:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 13:38 GMT	1 point
	@gopaladins: OK, that's weird. It accepts the correct spelling ("Patrick Swayze") but displays an incorrect spelling ("swaZYe"). I didn't actually check what was displayed once the correct spelling was accepted.

	Monoclinic:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 13:41 GMT	11 points
	No Sir Patrick Moore? I demand a recount! He plays the xylophone you know.

	Michelle:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 13:43 GMT	-1 points
	It would not take the correct spelling of Patrick Swayze.

	Monoclinic:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 13:44 GMT	-2 points
	It doesn't accept Patrick Swayze for me, only Patrick Swazye.

	TheBluesMan:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 13:44 GMT	1 point
	Surprised to not see Patrick FitzGerald and Gerald FitzPatrick...

	lulubelles:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 13:59 GMT	3 points
	it accepted swayze for me, got most of the ones i should know, as soon as i saw all the sports ones i knew i had no hope of 100%. go patrick moore, such a classic eccentric

	davidr:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 15:03 GMT	1 point
	@Michelle, Monoclinic, lulubelles: Gaaaah. Now I see what's happened. What I actually typed was just "swayze", which is accepted. The accepted answers are "swaYZe", "swaZYe" and "patrick swaZYe" but not the correct full name, "patrick swaYZe". I'll send some feedback in a second to get this fixed.

	mennoknight:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 15:21 GMT	2 points
	@loud - it does accept "nph" though, which is awesome.

	dposseman:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 15:49 GMT	5 points
	my name's patrick...not famous though
