	I really wanted Cicilian to work! I also tried Velveeta. I suppose proper nouns are out.

	How did one in eight people get "xenolith"? Are people having multiple attempts, or am I more ignorant than I thought? Never heard the word before.

	This quiz is bu____it! (joke)

	That was tough! I got only 14 the first time and 20 the second time. Should have gotten 21 as I thought of (and apparently discarded when I misspelled or mistyped it) lingerie. Rats.

	Velveeta should count

	The word beginning with H is what I should be doing right now.

	chris_t, I got xenolith, but I'm not exactly sure where I ever heard the word. I'm not even sure what it means without looking it up. I suppose you could call it a bit of a guess.

	@chris_t -- I guessed it on the basis of "megalith," "monolith," "xenophobia" and "xenomorph." Haven't looked it up yet, so I don't actually know what it means ... a rock from another planet?

	prockstar83:	Sep 23rd, 2010 at 21:15 GMT		17 points
	The fact that I got 'xenolith' and not 'yourself' means I'm spending too much time on Sporcle. It also turns out I know how to find Vanuatu but not my own house.

	'V for Velveeta' could be a great sequel.. Wachowski brothers, are you listening?

	I also got xenolith without really knowing what it was or whether it was a real word. There are only so many prefixes that begin with xe. (For those curious but too lazy to google: "A xenolith is a rock fragment which becomes enveloped in a larger rock during the latter's development and hardening.")

	"Kickbutt"?

	Great fun. Morea please.

	When I got the homework question, I thought, "maybe i should stop wasting time on Sporcle and get my homework done." Then I came to my senses.

	I think "xenolith" came up in another quiz a couple of weeks ago.

	I really wanted the civilian one to be circadian, as in circadian rhythms in biology, but alas that has too many letters

	ScottLA:	Sep 24th, 2010 at 00:02 GMT		6 points
	I really wanted Velveeta to be a bonus. I'm sick, I know.

	kebertxela:	Sep 24th, 2010 at 00:23 GMT		5 points
	as a geologist, I have to be embarrassed that I /didn't/ get xenolith--didn't even cross my mind. major points to those of you who did!

	I was mentally going through V's speech in V for Vendetta to try and figure out something that would fit the pattern. Can you say facepalm?

	quizzle:	Sep 24th, 2010 at 04:54 GMT		9 points
	i came up with the word quackdom. don't know why i thought that was a word.

	@bonnie - talk about you discarding lingerie takes this quiz to a whole new level I don't think we wish to go to ;-)

	ROFLMAO! My bad.

	The Lord is my photocopier; I shall not want. He xeroxeth my documents.... No, I'm not seriously proposing that xeroxeth be accepted. (The people at Xerox don't really want us using their trademark as a verb, and even when we do, we don't generally have occasion to combine it with the archaic third-person singular suffix.) It's just that once I had thought of it, I couldn't imagine anything else for XE....TH.

	I really wanted zenith to not only start with x, but I wanted it to be an 8-letter word.

	Great quiz. I was hoping for a bonus, though, for "kickbutt."
