Skeleton Trivia for Thursday, 2025-08-07
I’m still waiting for the Desi Arnaz-themed Babalú Labubu
Hiya Skeleton Crew,
Make sure to tune up the suspension, warm up your tires, strap in, & get race ready for our first Themie Thursday post- summer vacay!
Answers from Last Time
- The jaguar’s the only Panthera native to the Americas. Which I think makes it a li’l ironic that that British carmaker named their company after it. (Y’know, instead of an old world Panthera like Leopard or Tiger or whatever! I mean, sure, it ain’t SUPER ironic. But it’s like KINDA ironic. A li’l bit.)
- Labubu are those weird impish monstery things that everyone apparently gaga over? I dunno, I’ve never seen one. Silly name, though!
Today’s Trivias
Trivia 1
What was the nom de guerre of the French fella who was born Philippe François Marie de Hauteclocque? He took this name as a way to protect his fam while he was fightin with the Free French under Monsieur Charles du Gaulle, & nowadays French soldiers zoom ’round in tanks named after this fella.
Trivia 2
The winner of New York’s 1804 gubernatorial election—a fella named Morgan Lewis—basically lapped the competition in his landslide win. & yet—! The loser didn’t blame Mr. Lewis, or even his own dang self. Nah, instead he accused what famous fella of runnin a smear campaign against him?
The whole situation got real ugly real fast: the guy I’m askin about ended up dead with a bullet in his lower abdomen, uff da!!
OK then
Byeeeeeeeeeeeeee
