Skeleton Trivia for Tuesday, 2025-09-16

That’s a lot of right turns—but I guess it’s better than taking a lot of WRONG turns!

Hiya Skeleton Crew,

Didja ever know what are the directions to the Trivia Zone? Here’s what I like to tell folks.

  • Start by headin down Knowledge St.
  • Take a right onto Curiosity Ave.
  • Drive right on past the Ignorance Inn—we don’t wanna stop there!—& merge onto the Information Interchange.
  • Take the exit for Wisdom Way.
  • Now—& this is super important—turn right onto Trivia Terrace BEFORE ya reach Wisdom Way! Otherwise you’ll find yourself on the Road to Hell, even if ya didn’t mean to!
  • Keep goin’ for about 15 miles. You’ll pass signs for the airport & Six Flags.
  • Take the bridge over the River Lethe. DON’T FALL IN!!!!
  • If you’re hungry, I guess ya could stop for some crab cakes at Cap’n Nemo Toad’s Seafood Shack. (& look, I’ll be the first to tell ya that Cap’n Nemo Toad himself is a real piece of work. If I’m bein honest, I can’t stand the guy!! But heck, I know a good crab cake when I taste ’em—& Cap’n Toad’s crab cakes? They’re real dang decent.)
  • Once ya get back on the road, just keep goin & you’ll find yourself at Mr. Skeleton’s Trivia Zone before ya know it!

We’re nestled in there at the back of the movie theater. I’m still workin on gettin my name up on the road sign—I’ve had a heckuva time gettin hold of management there!—but it’s the same strip mall as Andy’s Laundromat & Magic Emporium.

Answers to Last Time

  • A View to a Kill was the James Bond movie with a chart-toppin Duran Duran theme song.
  • Cruel Intentions was the late-’90s Les Liaisons dangereuses (a.k.a. Dangerous Liaisons) adaptation with Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Today’s Trivias

Trivia 1

The healthcare discipline of logopedics more oftenly gets referred to by the initialism SLP, which stands for what? Some of the medical conditions that’d be assessed or addressed by someone in this field include things like aphasia, dysphonia, & dysarthria.

Trivia 2

What term has got two different (but related) definitions in the realm of music?:

  • In the context of a piano, it refers to ... well, it’s like how easy is it to push down on the keys? Y’know? Like if they push down super easy, versus if they’re heavy & put up lotsa resistance to your phalanges.
  • For stringed instruments, it’s basically the distance between the fretboard & the string.

So anyways, what’s this term?



OK then

Byeeeeeeeeeeeeee
