Skeleton Trivia for Thursday, 2025-10-16
If only werewolves had a famous rivalry with some other category of supernatural being ...
Hiya Skeleton Crew,
No luck on finding a witch in the woods who can help with werewolves! The only lady who was around this week was “Wacky” Willow Westermere of the Wending Water-mead, and all SHE could offer me were some of those citronella Wolf-Away™ candles. I mean, I bought a couple since I was out there, I’d’ve felt bad if I left Willow’s shop without buyin ANYTHING ... but let’s be honest, these candles don’t do nothin other than smell kinda weird.
Ah jeez! Who else can I turn to to help with these dang werewolves???
Answers to Last Time
- Seth Rogen was the Green Hornet in The Green Hornet—and he also co-founded Houseplant, which sells wacky tobacky.
- Jay Chou is the King of Mandopop, which is the subgenre of Chinese pop music that’s sung in—you guessed it!—Mandarin! The “standard” dialect of Mandarin is Putonghua in mainland China & Guoyu in Taiwan.

The line that divides the sunny side & the night side of planet Earth is called the Terminator, & the layer of the ocean between the epipelagic & bathypelagic is called the the mesopelagic. But what shared other name do these places (or maybe I should call ’em dimensions) sometimes go by?
