Look Smart Trivia: Mystery Theme
3What’s today’s quiz about? You tell me. Identify who or what is in the following images, suss out the common thread, and then do this: post all the answers, then add an image of your own in keeping with the theme. Yes, it’s blatantly similar to Ken Jennings’s Kennections column, but with pictures - and a $5 Meh coupon for the first winner! By the way, here’s a quick reminder: winners can only win once every 7 days. Insert signoff catchphrase here!
Presidents can’t hide behind their beards from @curtise, who identified all of yesterday’s owners of Presidential Facial Hair and whisked away a $5 Meh coupon:
- William Howard Taft
- Benjamin Harrison
- Theodore Roosevelt
- Ulysses S. Grant
- Chester A. Arthur

This one is tricksy.

@sammydog01
Dammit @Ignorant! You beat me to it while I was trying to make a Google-image-search resistant image (fair is fair @JasonToon).
Oh wait! I just noticed your #3 answer!
Ok, I’m still in this:
^ It fits the theme (as I understand it). Can you name the element, oh crafty quiz-master ?
@DennisG2014 but you win, I didn’t get #3
@DennisG2014 and you didn’t ask me but I’ll answer lithium for your pic.
@Ignorant
edit: btw - I wonder if Nirvana ever played Lithium at the Palladium…
I spent a bunch of time cropping stills from “Arsenic and Old Lace”, but I couldn’t stump Google.
A screen grab from a music video finally managed to fool Google, but not @Ignorant.
@DennisG2014 Heh. I actually thought #3 was Germanium.
The element of surprise:

@llangley glowstick juice!
@llangley @RiotDemon tritium? I know that’s not what’s in regular glow sticks but it’s the only thing that comes to mind.
Back in the day when Nine Inch Nails’ video for The Perfect Drug came out, I decided it was wise to walk around my dorm with a martini glass full of glow stick juice, and then paint stuff on friends’ doors with it. I found out that stuff stains permanently, and had to repaint a couple of doors.
@llangley Indeed, that is Naquadah. -Teal’c
@GLaDOS @llangley Radium.
@GLaDOS yep, in liquid form. Nice!

Um, @JasonToon, you sleeping in today?
The suspense is killing me.
