  "textContent": "Hiya Skeleton Crew,\n\nLong time no see, eh? Hope the past coupla weeks have treated youse guys OK.\n\n“How’re things over by you, Mr. S,” I can hear ya askin. Well, first off, thanks for checkin in, I’m doin pretty good. Longtime readers’ll know that last year I took on a big new venture, I opened up a li’l movieplex in town near Micimec University. Things’ve been chuggin along on that front – though if I’m bein honest, I feel like attendance hasn’t been super great. So I’ve been thinkin of runnin a kinda PR stunt or two to get some folks in the doors here.\n\nOK, on to the trivias!!!\n\n## Today’s Trivias\n\n# Trivia 1\n\n**What word** does Wiktionary define as “the ancient Mediterranean ritual based on the belief that bees were spontaneously generated from a cow’s carcass”? It’s notably NOT pronounced like a type of flower named for a French colonial governor, as I’m sure Emma Stone could tell ya.\n\n# Trivia 2\n\nSo just in case ya were confused: bees aren’t _actually_ spontaneously generated from cow carcasses. I know, I know, it might SEEM like they are – I mean, who ’mongst us HASN’T taken a look at a dead bovid & thought to themselves, “Clearly, bees!” – but as it turns out, nah!\n\nIn point of fact, female bees come from eggs laid by queens & fertilized by drones. (Male bees come from unfertilized eggs, natch.) Pretty standard stuff. But how do ya get a queen? Simple! The female worker bees who’re in charge of feedin bee larvae make sure to give the li’l queen plenty of **what substance** that’s got special proteins in it to help the larva grow into a full-fledged honest-to-goodness queen bee?\n\nSome humans’ll also take this stuff ’cause I guess they think it’s got anti-inflammatory properties or that it might help with menopause symptoms, I dunno. I mean, it might?? But I ain’t a doctor! Don’t take your dietary advice from a trivia newsletter, I guess is all I’m sayin.\n\n* * *\n\n💀 Submit Your Answers 💀\n\n💀 View Season Leaderboard 💀\n\n* * *\n\n## OK then\n\nByeeeeeeeeeeeeee\n\n* * *\n\n  1.
