After devoting all my thought power to thinking of the bond names, I couldn't help but try 'octopussies' for the octopus one.

I don't know if I should be proud or sad that I got most of the name from 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover from Howie Long's one scene in 3000 Miles to Graceland...

I thought that the U.N. question was after peoples names. And judging by the way that those answers were all in the same place for percentage guessed correctly (53-56%), it seems that 45% of people have the same problem... and those that understand the question, get all of them right. Maybe put "permanent U.N. security council member states" (or nations). Sorry about the long comment and awkward wording...

I have never heard the term "octopodes" and if I ever hear it spoken out loud I will probably laugh.

So, what are the acceptable plurals of Octopussy? So far I've got octopussies, octopussi, and octopusspodes.

Is it wrong that most of the ones I got right were from "50 ways to leave your lover"? Do I need to get out more?

Kind of interesting the drop-off in 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover names from Jack to the others. Apparently, slipping out the back is just fine for Sporclers, but making a new plan, getting on the bus, not being coy, or dropping off the key are just too much effort.

Argh, early-morning brain interpreted the "Three Men" clue as asking for the characters' names and so I didn't even try.

Ah, the Octopus question - a trivia classic. This video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFyY2mK8pxk) explains how that all came to be.

@ Theron - Jack was one of the characters in Three Men and a Baby. So if people guessed the character names, they would have gotten Jack.

Nothing like complete randomness to start my morning. :) I didn't even attempt Reservoir Dogs (never seen it) but did pretty well on the rest. And I learned something new...octopodes!

As a Paul Simon fan, can I just say I'm surprised more people know the bones of the inner ear than know his lyrics?

There is an internal struggle within me about octopus plurals! I can't believe that octopi is acceptable as a plural for octopus. It is not derived from Latin 2nd declension, but instead Greek, so it shouldn't have the -i as plural. I guess if enough people use it as a plural, then it is correct. Hell, 'children' is technically an incorrect plural (double plural) and no one has a problem with it.

Missed Johnson for the presidents. In my defense, though, it was in alphabetical order before that, so I was trying to remember a president between Bush and Harrison alphabetically. Maybe they should be put in alphabetical order to avoid confusion, especially if you're going to ALMOST put them alphabetically.

Having never seen Reservoir Dogs (or much of anything Tarantino has done), I knew there was almost no chance of 100% I remembered nicknames from "The Unit", and somebody mentioned that they were "like Reservoir Dogs", so I got a couple...

Octopus? Two would be hexadecipus. Any more than that and you can make calamari.
