General Knowledge Quiz #2

14/20. Spuds McKenzie,haha. I looked in my wallet to see the $10 bill, but I didn't have one.

I thoroughly enjoyed the answer to "Who's buried in Grant's tomb?" :D I don't know who Grant is, but it makes sense that he would be buried there.

Ulysses S. Grant (18th President of the United States from 1869–1877) and his wife, Julia, are entombed there, not buried.

"most famous to die" seems pretty arbitrary.

"no one" should be an acceptable answer to "who's buried in Grant's tomb." The tomb is an above ground mausoleum; therefore, Grant and his wife are not actually buried.

I'm going to have to agree that "most famous to die in 2009" is completely arbitrary and certainly up for debate. I mean, I typed in Bill Mays and repeatedly hit enter, but the quiz wouldn't accept it. Seriously, the man brought us Oxy-Clean, people.

wow I wish I knew how to spell mckenzie

What's Oxy-clean?

Jobs is no longer the CEO of Apple.

Oxy-clean is a brand of cleaner, especially laundry cleaning products.

You should rewrite the $10 bill question... "Who is on the US $10 bill?" As I typed in Sir John A Macdonald and didn't get it correct. (he's on the Canadian $10 bill fyi) And I also agree that the "most famous person" question is a little arbitary as personally I would consider Michael Jackson to be the most infamous person to die that year.

michael jackson is definitely not infamous, he's a global singer, the most famous to die that year. and quit nitpicking about grant...the popular culture question is who's buried in grant's tomb

Hitler is infamous. Charles Manson is infamous. But in what way is Michael Jackson infamous? Also, if someone can name a more famous person who died in 2009, I will bake them an entire tray of cookies.

@darkseraphim21 Ferra Fawcett, same day as Michael Jackson, to boot.

@Enits: Ulysses S. Grant may have been the 18th President of the USA, but he is most famous for being the most successful Union General during the US Civil War from 1861-1865. Grant had lots of success in the 'western' theater of the war while in the east President Abraham Lincoln was unable to find a General who could lead those armies to victory. In 1864 Grant became General-in-Chief of all United States forces. He took the field with the main Union Army, the Army of the Potomac, against General Robert E. Lee and the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, and in April of 1865, Lee surrendered to Grant, virtually ending the deadliest and most destructive war in US history. It was his fame as a general that got him the Presidency,

OMGOSH the steve jobs question scared me since the quiz was written in 09. Then i read the comment that made sense. *micro heart attack*

MJ was objectivly famous, in that he was more well known that anyone else to die that year. I guess if you ask everyone, some chinese or indian person might come top, but hey.

infamous is where you're MORE than famous! he must be the biggest star to ever come out of mexico!

Whos in Grants tomb? GRANT!!!!!and only 56% got it. hahahahaha.

@lancershaft Infamous is where you're well known for doing something nefarious and terrible.

@txbdog, nobody is buried in Grant's tomb, because Grant's coffin is aboveground. Therefore, he is not actually "buried". So the correct answer is "nobody'

he touched kids...how is that not infamous?

arturo gatti, bea arthur, britney murphy, david carradine, ed mcmahon, farrah fawcett, patrick swayze, steve mcnair, the rev...i'll take my cookies now, (gluten free please)

Could you perhaps just take jellyfish instead of "box jellyfish?"
