THE PUZZLE CORNER: MAY 23rd, 2009

It's the Memorial Day weekend, so here are some enigmas that will not stretch the brain cells too much.

COMMON BONDS
The items in each group below have something in common. Your challenge is to figure out what.
Group 1. {cats, turkeys}
Group 2. {Mister Seinfeld, Monsieur Lewis}

TRIVIA TIME
What comedic duo has won the most Academy Awards in the Short Subjects division?

The answers will appear next weekend.
But for now, the results from May 16th, 2009.

TRIVIA TIME
Although Red Sox pitcher Ernie Shore pitched a perfect game by retiring all 27 batters he faced through nine innings starting from when he took the mound in the first inning, he unfortunately has never been officially recognized for this feat because he was the relief pitcher!
Babe Ruth started that game, but was ejected by the umpire after arguing over the call that allowed the first and only batter he faced that day to walk to first base.
Ruth was replaced by Shore and the rest is history, so to speak.

LOONEY LYRICS
"There's a bathroom on the right" is the often misheard version of There's a bad moon on the rise, from Creedence Clearwater Revival's 1969 hit "Bad Moon Rising".
