Question three is not correct - his name is Cleese not Cheese. But what's it doing in this quiz, as the answer doesn't begin with "D"??!!

Lol. You're correct about the question not being eligible for this quiz. They are all 'C' names. Silly me must have thought I was still doing the 'C' quiz. I will remove it and put it with the 'C' quiz.

As for the 'Cheese' comment... his father changed his name from 'Cheese' to 'Cleese' to avoid being made fun of when he joined the British army. I was being a smart ass by using his real name.

Thanks for your comments and correcting me.
