	I got Blarney Stone because of tonight's "Simpsons" episode. LOL.

	LOL to moviedynamic, same here. I got it just because of the Simpsons. I can't believe I missed the Sphinx.

	Monticello and the Jefferson Memorial are two completely different things - Monticello is his home in Charlottesville, VA, whereas the Memorial is in DC proper

	I was swearing at my keyboard as "Blarney" an "Blarney Castle" failed to be accepted. But then again, Blarney is only a village outside the city that is shown as the answer! And the Guinness Storehouse was simply an educated guess (through experience of many pints of the product)

	Damn, for some reason I forgot Istanbul and kept writing Constantinople in... Missed a few I shouldn't have, a follow-up quiz would be nice.

	@Philipvdp: Manneken Pis should be on the list, people come from all over the world to see a fountain of a little peeing guy, how awesome is that? :D (no kidding, I don't think there's 1 single moment in a day when the little guy isn't surrounded by tourists :))

I think the Great Sphinx is located in Egypt, not Epypt.

	Technically, the Blarney stone is in Blarney, 8 km northwest of Cork (as listed on the Blarney Castle website). I think it should list Blarney or Co. Cork to be correct. (Of course, I'm from a very small town and obsessive about these kinds of things).

	Fun quiz - nice touch to set up links to the wikipedia pages

	@melissa: Actually, all Sporcle quizzes do that on the answers page.

	Ok, St Stephen's Tower is not the tower that contains Big Ben. St Stephen's Tower is a smaller one on the houses of parliament. The tower is simply "The Westminster Clock Tower".

	How embarrassing is it to forget Giza? Ugh. I drew a blank. :(

	And here I thought the Parthenon was in Nashville, TN.

	The original Statue of Liberty is in Paris, not New York.

	chambers:	Mar 23rd, 2009 at 18:26 GMT		2 points
	i was gonna say! i saw (original) and thought it must be somewhere in france

	@Jim: Only if you're counting the architect's much smaller bronze model in the Jardin du Luxembourg as `the original Statue of Liberty', which seems dubious to me. The 40ft version on the banks of the Seine was erected three years after the New York statue.

	The quiz is ofc great but let this be the only time I ever say this on this site: too USA-centered!

	@BigThing: Six out of 22 seems reasonable to me.

	Thanks for putting in Big Ben or else I'd have 21 instead of a perfect score.

	I did pretty good. For the ones I missed, I was able to pinpoint the country just by the sound of name, but I didn't manage to get them. Where other than the USA would the 'Liberty' Bell be located?

	BigThing:	Mar 23rd, 2009 at 21:35 GMT		5 points
	Nah c'mon, two or three would be fine but now South America and Australia aren't represented at all, and Africa just barely.

	danc1005:	Mar 23rd, 2009 at 22:54 GMT		3 points
	Seeing as Nick is right, and it is the Westminster Clock Tower ("Big Ben" is actually the name of the bell that chimes on the hour), Westminster should be an acceptable answer.

	davidr:	Mar 23rd, 2009 at 23:26 GMT		0 points
	@BigThing: Ok, so the statue of Christ the Redeemer for Rio. Others for South America and Africa? Anything for Australia other than the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House, neither of which would be a good question?
