	Convert Maine into Texas? Congratulations, you've done the politically impossible!

	I think a minute could have been cut off this. I'm not that great at these and I finished with well over a minute left.

	TessSGS:	Apr 27th, 2011 at 07:20 GMT	2 points
	I tried Michael Gough before Michael Caine, but couldn't for the life og me think what state I could get from it! (Not an American, I don't know many state capitals)

	climber_v12:	Apr 27th, 2011 at 08:17 GMT	10 points
	No, I think this is the right amount of time. Better to have a little too much than too little.

	Is a purse the same thing as a handbag in the US? It definitely isn't in the UK.

	star_kid_nutter:	Apr 27th, 2011 at 10:33 GMT	-4 points
	yeah over in america, a purse is a handbag, and i think a purse is a wallet over there aswell

	Not really thrilled with the penultimate definition.

	glueboy:	Apr 27th, 2011 at 12:29 GMT	25 points
	does nobody else have "pulse" on their blenders? i mustve tried that three or four times...

	monstro:	Apr 27th, 2011 at 14:47 GMT	13 points
	I'm pretty sure TAPAS is a Spanish word meaning, "I'm still hungry."

Comment below threshold: show it

	It seems like "teras" is pretty obscure medical terminology, I'm not even sure if it's in use... it's not in my Oxford American or my Oxford English Dictionary, and googling it doesn't turn up much except the very definition you used.

	No Sporcle quiz should ever contain the phrase "grossly malformed and often unviable fetus".

	HPZ:	Apr 27th, 2011 at 15:23 GMT	-1 points
	Good quiz! One nitpick: Adhesive is the glue on one side of tape. "Binds or seals with sticky adhesive" describes the words "glues," "epoxies" and "cements." I think "Duct, Scotch(tm), and masking" or "Music cassettes" would be clearer clues for "tapes."

	Pluralized first name of actress Reid who played Vickie in 'American Pie.' weak sauce

	TAR2:	Apr 27th, 2011 at 16:21 GMT	-2 points
	Anybody else try murse instead of purse? :)

	Cochlea:	Apr 27th, 2011 at 17:39 GMT	18 points
	I wonder how many people got the second-to-last one by getting TEXAS first, then trying the changed letters from TARAS. I sure did!

	You don't "puree" food in a strainer. Just saying.

	Case:	Apr 27th, 2011 at 18:59 GMT	6 points
	@liskosf Strainers were used to purée food long before the advent of the electric blender.

	ezois:	Apr 27th, 2011 at 19:26 GMT	-1 points
	@Cochlea: I'm did too.

	Carne is meat, beef is bistec..

	Bobman1:	Apr 27th, 2011 at 22:01 GMT	1 point
	I'll chimein as well with too much time. Also, thanks hallepie55, I thought that was generic "meat" and that one I skipped and ended up coming back to.

	Never heard of a teras, but got it nonetheless

	Pyrophorus:	Apr 29th, 2011 at 04:27 GMT	2 points
	I'd never heard of "teras" before either, but I was able to get it by relation to "teratogen" - a chemical that deforms a fetus.

	Did I really just type "puker" on a Sporcle quiz?
