Skeleton Trivia for Thursday, 2025-09-11
The art of losing isn’t hard to master
Hiya Skeleton Crew,
I’m pretty dang tired today! So no chit-chat, just trivias.
Answers to Last Time
- The 1913 International Exhibition of Modern Art is usually better known as the Armory Show on account of how it was held at the 69th Regiment Armory in NYC.
- Charlie Kaufman was the screenwriter behind Anomalisa, Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, & Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
Today’s Trivias
Trivia 1
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind got its name from a 1717 poem called Eloisa to Abelard:
How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd
Who wrote those lines? He’s also the wise guy who said “Fools rush in where angels fear to tread”—that was in his famous Essay on Criticism that also gave us classic lines like "To err is human, to forgive divine" & "A little learning is a dangerous thing".
Trivia 2
Aeneas Williams, Dan Dierdorf, Charley Trippi, & Larry Wilson are NFL Hall of Fame players associated with what team? Odds are pretty dang good that Larry Fitzgerald’ll be joinin ’em in the HoF club next year.
OK then
Byeeeeeeeeeeeeee
