I think this is the right place to post this.

Do you guys ever do Sporcle quizzes? I enjoy taking them from time to time, as well as creating them. Here’s one I made. How many of the Vice Presidents’ wives can you name?

Sporcle is fun. Post some quizzes that you’ve created, if you’ve ever made any.

I’ve created a couple, which are a bit geeky/require specialist knowledge: [Name the Films Directed by John Waters](http://www.sporcle.com/games/StudentDriver/John_Waters) and [US Atari-released 2600 Cartridges](http://www.sporcle.com/games/StudentDriver/2600_list). The fun in creating the quizzes is in doing bonus/secret stuff.

The only one I ever posted is this:

> Can you name the words from the beginning of the prologue in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring?

Can you name the words from the beginning of in the Prologue of The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring?

I was inspired by the recent Star Wars Crawl quiz, since I really love that voiceover in the LOTR prologue.

I’ve created a few - you can see the list [here.](http://www.sporcle.com/user/cmkeller/contributed)

I could play sporcle games all day, if not for this stupid “working to eat” thing.

Just thought I’d give you some feedback – I got 27 out of 37. I actually knew about 20, including all those from Nixon to present, although I had to think for a while about Mondale, as I kept thinking of his daughter but knew her name was different from her mom’s. After a while, I just started typing random first names that were common at various points during American history, and got a few hits amid about five times as many misses.

I pretty much know all the first ladies’ and vice presidents names, but the “second ladies” are a bit more obscure, and thus challenging. Fun quiz!

Who can name the baseball players who hit at least 200 home runs in the 2000s?
