	No "Great Gatsby?" That's such a good G.G.!

	Fawkes:	Nov 25th, 2009 at 04:29 GMT	-3 points

	Gorgeous George never gets any respect. Crazy Wrestler. Basically gave Ali his personality on a tray.

	Graham Greene might be a good addition. Both the writer and the actor.

	DEFINITELY confused about the absence of Great Gatsby... also, why no Grey Gardens?

	Received a headache trying to spell the astronomer.

	Greta Garbo, Golden Girls and Greer Garson? Sporcle's having a gay day! Definitely add in Grey Gardens for maximum gaiety.

	Gekko is a villain? "So that’s basically the plot of the film. Gordon Gekko, an aggressive but perfectly legal financier, makes a mistake in hiring a thoroughly dishonest stockbroker to act for him, is made the victim of a scandalous securities fraud and then, for unknown reasons, is indicted along with the person who defrauded him, while the main conspirator in that fraud [Sir Lawrence Wildman] walks free. It’s a travesty of justice." Interesting examination of Wall Street from a legal perspective: http://crookedtimber.org/2003/07/21/wall-street/

	Is the Great Gatsby an answer? I typed it in thinking it might be a bonus and didn't get it. Then on the results screen it listed Great Gatsby and something else as answers that weren't in the quiz.

	bewareofdow:	Nov 25th, 2009 at 05:29 GMT	-4 points
	How about starting Shortstop for both Twins World Series winners Greg Gagne, renowned 20th Century Canadian classical pianist Glenn Gould and astronaut Gus Grissom?

	The Dances with Wolves action should have an "e" at the end of his last name. And Fitzgerald's name is not enough for a correct clue--sure, we'll all get the right answer anyway, but he's the author of the Great Gatsby, not the Great Gatsby himself.

	TheGreatZo:	Nov 25th, 2009 at 05:47 GMT	-1 points
	Not sure how Gary Glitter didn't make it on to this quiz. Even more surprised not to see Geri's Game, given the apparent Pixar fixation that the Sporcle admins seem to employ.

	I am shocked 6.8% got Galloping Gertie. Being 5 minutes away from her right now it was easy for me but how did the rest of you know the answer? Is she really that famous? Just curious.

	Paladine_42:	Nov 25th, 2009 at 08:08 GMT	9 points
	@29smitty Gertie is all over the history channel whenever they do anything on engineering.

	@Brownepants: That may be the most unintentionally offensive comment I've ever seen on the site, considering Glitter's criminal record.

	@29Smitty, I live in Australia and, without seeking it out nor having pay tv at home, I see gertie's collapse at least 4 times a year...

	Ain't nothing but a G. G. thing, baby! Two Loc'ed-out Gs going crazy!

	Argh, remembered that the guy in "Dances with Wolves" has the same name as the British novelist, but kept thinking "Grant Green" instead of "Graham Greene." Other ideas: Greatest Generation, Germaine Greer, Glenn Gould, Good Grief.

	Cannot believe how many famous GGs there are. I'm changing my name to Guy Goodman. Guaranteed Glamour!!!

	Wow, good game! No one has mentioned Gordon Gee, yet. Am I the only ivory tower occupant on here? :-)

	Bryant Gumbel is happy you didn't list his brother Greg.

	Second American launched into space...Gus Grissom, Mercury Program astronaut. Gordon Gekko was my first answer. Which now makes me wonder does the Geico Gekko qualify for this?

	I don't know about anyone else, but the term "Galloping Gertie" just sort of popped into my head when I was thinking of GG things. I didn't really associate it with the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, but I don't know where else I would have heard the term.

	i was hoping to see the Galloping Ghost Red Grange on this one. Greatest college football player ever!
