On every quiz with names I don't know I always guess Smith, Jones, Johnson, Jackson, Brown, Davis, Williams, Wilson, and Thomas. They often give me at least one correct answer. Worked again this time, too.

I just finished watching an episode of Spaced, so it was a bit of a coincidence having the Nick Frost question in here.

I wonder in how many countries people become synonymous with dictionaries. In Germany, that would be Duden, for Konrad Duden.
