"What name did Dr. Frankenstein's monster choose for himself?"

Not sure this is the answer you're looking for, but I'll say this fun fact - author Dean Koontz wrote a retelling of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, where his story takes place after the events in Shelley's book. Frankenstein's monster names himself Deucalion, for the namesake of the Greek figure Deucalion, son of Prometheus.

SPACE DUST! Although I did like the alien megastructure theory.
Correct! +125 points.

I did, too, but... honestly, it seemed a little far-fetched. Not because of the location, but because one would presume a structure on that scale would have a little more discernible activity of some kind, whether traffic, or some sort of emissions.

Uhhhh hrrgkhh I was gonna say they both have teeth, but birds... don’t have... teeth...

Anyways my bullshit answer is, they both have parts that mesh with each other; for example, gear teeth mesh with other gear teeth, while the barbules of a single barb on a bird’s feather mesh with the barbules of the barb next to it (which is why feathers hold together like that; it works like velcro.)
You are extremely close. You've even mentioned the key word. If you don't get it, I will give you 50 for the effort if someone else gets it.

I believe he may have called himself, Legion, because he was comprised of many people.
Nice direction to go in, but no.

The original Hulk was flat gray. Wish I knew the name of the character that's gray now.
Correct! +50 points. The name of that aspect is 'Mr. Fix-It', although he has gone by other names.

In Mary Shelley's version he didn't have a name, although he did say to his creator 'I ought to be thy Adam' he was mainly known as 'the monster' or 'the demon'

You've been the closest so far, but no!

While this question has already been answered, this is different information, as well as acceptable, as I didn't directly specify the author. +50 points.

Lee 08-17-2019 05:54 PM
Any categories anyone wants to see tonight? Specific to general, I'm game. Or a refilling of existing categories?

Awesome!!! I'd like to redeem some points for the following:

- Mortal Kimono
- Infernal Kimono
- Striped Mortal Kimono
- Striped Infernal Kimono


I have some new topic ideas! How about animals, video games, and countries/states/regions/monuments?

Who was considered the "man" of the house among the sisters in Little Women?
That would be Josephine, or Jo. The character of Jo March was most certainly the literary doppelganger of the author, Louisa May (Alcott).

You should have them in your inventory, now! Let me know if they're not there.

You're pretty close, little guy, but that's not the answer!

(( do you want me to treat derpy as a different user? you're only shooting yourself in the foot, at best, so i don't mind ))

I think I'll stick with trading points for cubes, because I checked to make sure and I do already have one at least of everything in the prize list.

Derpy McBlueEyes 08-17-2019 08:22 PM
"Awww.....okay..." Derpy pouts.

((Lol. I don't actually anticipate winning, but you could treat him as separate if you want. Or just count us as a team. XD))

Lee 08-17-2019 10:25 PM
Points raised, working on questions now. I'll drop them one section at a time and let you know as I do, so it won't be such a long time like yesterday.

Will be granted shortly. Do you want me to make a note to just instantly transfer each correct answer, or wait until each rollover in one lump sum?

Witchchylde 08-17-2019 10:44 PM
Just roll over I suppose. I never know when I'm going to have an answer, so knowing when the prize is going out would be a nice balance against that.

DreadedMartian 08-17-2019 11:31 PM
We can still answer the available questions? If so...

Who became the Joker in the alternate timeline where Harley Quinn became Yo-Yo?

Martha Wayne

You can always answer the questions listed (try to make sure they haven't been answered, but the worst to happen is you won't get points for it). If they haven't been answered, all that will happen during a rollover is you get more points than expected!

+175 points added!

Is this a fellow fan I do espy with my little eye~? <3

Lee 08-18-2019 12:55 AM
Another section was not added, since there are still at least forty up.

Espy 08-18-2019 12:59 AM
How are birds and cogwheels related?

...They both have teeth (at some point, and by some definitions).

Espy 08-18-2019 01:04 AM
Why were a particular class of private detective referred to as 'gumshoes'?

They were generally plainclothes police/detectives who wore shoes that had rubber soles, which reduced the sound made by walking around (or sneaking around).
