	No Roseau, capital of Dominica?

	@ miniyoda008: Wikipedia says château is a manor house or residence of the lord of the manor or a country house of nobility or gentry, with or without fortifications, originally—and still most frequently—in French-speaking regions. Where clarification is needed, a fortified château (that is, a castle) is called a château fort.

	Jacque Clouseau should be an acceptable answer for Inspector Clouseau.

	davidr:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 20:19 GMT	3 points
	Nice quiz, though five of the last six are impossible if you're not American.

	davidr:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 20:21 GMT	4 points
	@miyeaumiyeau: You mean `Jacques' but yes, it should be accepted.

	JWC:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 20:25 GMT	11 points
	@davidr: not american, got 4 of those. The twins player isn't even american.

	How are we supposed to guess Adrienne Barbeau if her chest isn't mentioned?

	mghaas24:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 20:32 GMT	2 points
	you should add junior seau of the patriots and harold perrineau who plays michael on lost? just some suggestions...

	Fun quiz..."I am a Stalwart of the Stalwarts...Arthur is President now!"

	Uhlan:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 20:52 GMT	5 points
	I so hoped the first one would be 'Nimeau'.

	Nuclear_Knuckles:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 21:01 GMT	10 points
	Junior Seau would have been a good change-of-pace, simply because it's pronounced differently than the others.

	cwrocs220:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 21:03 GMT	0 points
	go packers! CURLY LAMBEAU!

	elnok:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 21:07 GMT	5 points
	Don't forget about Marykay Letourneau! I like the Junior Seau suggestion too.

	Diablo11d:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 21:24 GMT	9 points
	no bureau. this is probably the only thing taking french has helped me with

	I agree with FozzieBear, a château is not a country house, or then you may have to say it's a country house for rich people because not everyone can afford them. And not all châteaux/castles are in countryside, when you think of it, the famous château de Versailles is in the middle of a city.

	i dont kneau

	jaymc:	Oct 15th, 2009 at 21:41 GMT	6 points
	Woo! First published quiz! Btw, I actually had LeTourneau as a bonus (along with Lou Boudreau and Tommy Wiseau), but it looks like the Sporcle gods got rid of the bonuses. (Good call on Seau and Perrineau, though.)

	Blanked on Lambeau, so I typed in "Favreau" as a joke, and to my surprise, it worked.

	Super-fun. I had the hardest time remembering the name of Garfield's assassin - only remembered it because of something from Sarah Vowell's excellent Assassination Vacation (actually, the thing that made me think of it was the best part of the whole book - hysterical). Then I had a horrible time spelling it. Just missed the Minnesota Twin (I've heard of him, but wouldn't have thought of him in a million years - I'm an NL girl) and the H.G. Wells one.

	I agree with Diablo11d...taking French was supremely helpful here. Although it took me a second to figure out why "smog" was two words combined...whoops. Haha.

	The thing I most remember Adrienne Barbeau for is being the voice of Catwoman on the '90s Batman cartoon.

	chanman:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 02:39 GMT	0 points
	argh. I thought it was Agent Crouseau, and I could not figure out how to spell Art nouveau...

	mrgenova:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 03:26 GMT	0 points
	@mghaas24: You mean Senior Seau? I hope he helps right the ship, but at his age, I have some serious doubts.

	Jai:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 03:53 GMT	3 points
	eau my gosh!! one at a time the words look normal but looking at the answers listed, it all looks weird and wrong.

	caramba:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 06:07 GMT	5 points
	I'm guessing Mark Gastineau has been long forgotten, as well as long-time NHL GM Larry Pleau, but no Jéan Beliveau? Mon Dieu!

	deej:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 11:36 GMT	13 points
	Kids these days have no idea who Charles Guiteau is. All you hear is John Wilkes this, Lee Harvey that; Sirhan this, Jodie Foster that. And pull up your f#^%@$ing pants!!!

	Shotgunnova:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 14:05 GMT	2 points
	Good quiz.

	hscshark:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 14:15 GMT	3 points
	@deej If only I could vote you up more. That was pretty funny.

	halifaxanadu:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 14:51 GMT	2 points
	what about bureau?

	caramba:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 15:41 GMT	2 points
	@jaymc - congratulations on being published, from another Language quiz fan. I remember suddenly seeing AA Battery on the front page - feels pretty good.

	Hail to hailtothemonkey. Escape from New York is one of my favourite films because of her chestal area.

	Sparky:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 17:35 GMT	7 points
	Can't believe Davidr got marked down for his statement of fact. JWC - good for you, but that's a specious argument. If a player for Fulham football club is actually Mexican, does that mean Americans should be more likely to know who they are? Hardly.
