	A disturbingly high number of people don't seem to know that Barack Obama is still alive.

	fatbeard:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 04:35 GMT	19 points
	i LOVE random stuff

	Or, alternately, feel dumb about a bunch of stuff all at once.

	Why the first names restriction for the Seinfeld characters? It seems odd not to accept Kramer, since that's the name he's almost always known by...

	Jaspers:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 04:47 GMT	73 points
	@swellwrench: You're right. It seems almost... trivial.

	BamaRainbow:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 04:54 GMT	6 points
	@swellwrench: Probably if the show hadn't basically created an episode almost exclusively dedicated to the revelation of Kramer's first name, the last name would have been enough.

	Fourth Indiana Jones movie? What fourth movie? I refuse to believe that such exists.

Is it bad that the first thing I guessed was "New England"?

	BamaRainbow:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 04:59 GMT	16 points
	@JohnJF: It might seem so, but I really think that it has to do with an almost-ingrained idea that "still living Presidents" = "former Presidents".

	I've read all of the Hitchhiker's Guide series...and still couldn't remember them all. -_-

	Shinobi:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 05:01 GMT	35 points
	It seems kind of backwards to me that "b and o" is accepted for the railroad, yet "b&o" is not, despite the ampersand being the proper conjunction.

	Eeees:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 05:05 GMT	5 points
	I agree with Shinobi. It's pretty strange that you are required to type in the word "and," yet it posts with the ampersand (which happens to be the way it's written on the game card).

	Anonymous42:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 05:07 GMT	7 points
	"B & O" (with the spaces) is accepted, which is technically the way it's written on the card. However, I agree that B&O (without the spaces) should also be accepted.

	rmzy:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 05:12 GMT	3 points
	Count me in on the "B&O should be accepted" base.

	jfmk:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 05:15 GMT	6 points
	just "bo" is accepted

	Years ago, my sixth grade teacher had us learn the types of Greek columns because "some day we would need to know it." How did she know about Sporcle?

	@johnjf: It's that whole death panel thing.

	Good thing I read Douglas Adams' book series this summer and know who the Traveling Wilburys are.

	Rifsun:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 06:35 GMT	12 points
	Completely blanked on the fact that New Hampshire and New Jersey exist and became convinced that that category was some sort of trick question meaning "what four states have the letters 'n' 'e' and 'w'".

	For the UK Monopoly, why is 'street' needed for one and not the other? And shouldn't 'imago' be accepted for the final stage of the insect?

	mungar:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 08:28 GMT	18 points
	I'm surprised that so few people know the Traveling Wilburys. A true supergroup.

	micah:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 08:31 GMT	9 points
	@zeller: Some people are typing in full names?

	OscilatingGibbon:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 08:32 GMT	15 points
	I really need my morning coffee..."Presidents who are still alive? Let's try Kennedy!"

	MasterShake25:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 08:37 GMT	4 points
	I'm with OwenHerring, both imago and sub-imago should be acceptable for the insect stages, as well as puparium for some Dipterans.

	Poor Jeff Lynne down there with all the unknown Hitchhiker books! It did take me a while to get him though - I was sure there was a 'd' in his last name. And curse that 4th Indiana movie! There was another quiz where that tripped me up too. I can never remember the whole title.

	cmkeller:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 10:28 GMT	-1 points
	@Jonathan - I feel the same way about the fifth Douglas Adams book.

	davebesag:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 10:45 GMT	-1 points
	I'm another person who didn't know about Jeff Lynne. I'd have done much worse here if I hadn't got all 5 of the H2G2 books.

	Phil_Rose:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 11:17 GMT	5 points
	I too am guilty of forgetting Lynne...I kept thinking the 5th Wilbury was Eric Clapton.

	Isstvan:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 12:02 GMT	15 points
	It would be interesting to see a breakdown of how many answered the railroad questions using the American answers and how many used the British answers.

	moran:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 13:06 GMT	1 point
	I spent the last bit of my time trying to remember Jeff Lynne's name and totally forgot to Tom Petty in the process. Lame...

	mjenks:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 13:38 GMT	-1 points
	Why won't it accept "Cor--" for the Greek architecture unless it's capitalized?

	Etheridge2:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 13:53 GMT	-3 points
	Does anybody ever remember Lynee? Ashamed I forgot the PA RR and had no idea on Greek architecture, I always thought larva was the first stage of metamoorphosis too but oh well?

	Found one bonus in the douglas adams category, though I've only read the first book and didn't like it at all: SPOILER Salmon of Doubt Why's that one bonus?

	Chiaprofessor:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 15:56 GMT	1 point
	Always loved Doug Adams' work, but have only read 'Mostly Harmless' once, so I forgot it. And, although I would have loved to hear Clapton in the Wilburys, he was never involved. There was talk of making Jim Keltner (the drummer) the sixth wilbury after Orbison's death.
