Skeleton Trivia for Thursday, 2026-04-09
She’s a fine girl
Hiya Skeleton Crew,
Welcome to Thursday! Here at the Trivia Zone we like to have li’l “themies” on Thursday, which is just a situation where the two answers pair up in some kinda special way, or otherwise share some sorta hidden connection.
Answers to Last Time
- The pretty butterfly Greta oto is the namesake of Anthropic’s Project Glasswing, which I guess tech-minded folks have been freakin out about this week.
- Artemis II is the space mission that’s recently taken us back ’round the Moon. Finally, am I right?!
Today’s Trivias
Trivia 1
Martell is a company that produces what specific type of liquor that’s the basis for cocktails like the sidecar (when ya combine it with triple sec & lemon juice) & the New Orleans classic the Sazerac (which comes mixed with a sugar cube & Peychaud’s Bitters & li’l absinthe)?
Trivia 2
What do linguists call words in different languages that are derived from a common ancestor? So like ya got the word skeleton in English & esquelet in Catalan & they both mean the whole set of the bones ya got inside you (y’know, inside the skin & muscles & what-have-yous that we all have) & they both come from the Greek σκελετός that means “dried up” – since, ya know, skeletons are all dried up & they definitely can’t be walkin & talkin & writin trivia newsletters all on their own – that’d be CRAZY, ya need squishy wet stuff like flesh & blood & a brain to do all THAT, ha ha ha!!
OK then
Byeeeeeeeeeeeeee
