	You won't take just "Ho Chi Minh"?

	Quicksilver shouldn't be filed under "mythology". Mercury is an element, and quicksilver is just another name for mercury.

	um. how does one score in the 107th Percentile? I must be a genius!

	I got wolfram and Mother Teresa but not P!nk. Should I be upset?

	Nice variety

	This is one of those quizzes when you hit give up, see what you missed, then slap yourself in the face. Hard.

	I'm not really sure that Timor-Leste and Côte d'Ivoire belong on here. Those are direct translations, not really also known as. If that were the case, any word from a foreign language would be eligible.

	1derflguy:	Mar 2nd, 2010 at 20:13 GMT	2 points
	guess I need to brush up on spelling: Teresa, not Theresa, Buddha, not Budha, Coriander, not Corriander,Ludicris, not Ludicrous and Ronaldinho, not Ronaldino. I forgive myself for not knowing which Spice girl, though.

	Interesting bit of trivia: Billy Joel originally titled his song "Goodnight Ho Chi Minh City" but then couldn't think of any rhymes (did he try Roachy Pin Ditty?) so he renamed it.

	@mjenks: I believe the Mercury referred to here is the Roman equivalent of Hermes and not the element, hence the mythology status, but you are right in your statement that the synonym of quicksilver only refers to the element version of mercury, so the clue needs to be changed or removed.

	Tintinnase:	Mar 2nd, 2010 at 20:17 GMT	4 points
	I agree with Tom007. direct translations aren't very interesting. Rest of the quiz was fun though

	I always thought coriander was cilantro.

	tjconn728:	Mar 2nd, 2010 at 20:20 GMT	5 points
	I've heard that the South refers to the Civil War as the War of Northern Aggression, but I've always considered it an urban legend as I've never met an actual southerner who calls it that. How common is that?

	mjenks:	Mar 2nd, 2010 at 20:23 GMT	5 points
	@ Pats4Life: I know who Mercury is. My point is that it's wrongly categorized. @tjconn728: I knew one guy who called it that, but he said it just to be funny (but he was a true Southerner).

	Chris111985:	Mar 2nd, 2010 at 20:27 GMT	2 points
	For East Timor and Ivory Coast those are just the translations from French. If you're going to use those why not include countries that actually have different names between languages not just direct translations of otherwise common words such as Spain and Germany.

@tjcon728, many people refer to is that or the war between the states. As calling it a civil war is incorrect. A civil war is fought by two or more groups for control of a single government. The south had it's own government based in Richmond and was fighting to be independent of the government based in washington that was fighting it

	I put in cilantro instead of coriander and it accepted it... i think they are the same thing. interesting!

	swine flu and voicebox are bonuses.

	Mcory: "Saigon" never occurs in the song; why would it need to rhyme with something? Really good quiz. Let's see some sequels!

	ChemicalToilet:	Mar 2nd, 2010 at 20:43 GMT	12 points
	Coriander is a seed that grows into cilantro.

	Qucksilver/Mercury is science not mythology.

	Mythology was weird, cost you a point.

	JimmyJames:	Mar 2nd, 2010 at 21:29 GMT	28 points
	Aurora Borealis!? At this time of the year, in this part of the the country, and localized entirley within your kitchen!?

	soshoreman:	Mar 2nd, 2010 at 21:38 GMT	3 points
	Tungsten and Wolfram should be reversed. The chemical symbol is W but Wolfram is an old name. The element is listed in periodic tables as Tungsten.

	@flyingdics: Tungsten is not also known as W. That is just the symbol for Tungsten. The reference here is made from the old name for Tungsten which was named after the man who discovered it.

	I've lived in the deep south for years and never heard that. I assume it's the same people who call French Fries "freedom fries"

	wernsfan83:	Mar 2nd, 2010 at 22:10 GMT	13 points
	I don't know what's worse: remembering the names of the Spice Girls, or remembering the names of every single Spice Girl EXCEPT the one that appears on this quiz.

	TheWhiteLobster:	Mar 2nd, 2010 at 22:27 GMT	3 points
	I've always referred to the Civil War as the War of Northern Aggression jokingly.
