THE PUZZLE CORNER: OCTOBER 26, 2013

I was working in the lab, late one night...
This year marks the 195th anniversary of Mary Shelley's classic novel Frankenstein.
With Halloween fast approaching, I'd thought it appropriate to celebrate with a little quiz.

"Frankly, I didn't think anyone cared."

01. What is the subtitle of Shelley's novel?
02. What is the official name of our honoree?
03. Who was the very first actor to portray our honoree on the silver screen?
04. TWO actors have portrayed our honoree THREE times in movies. Can you name them both?
05. Who was the first actor to officially portray our honoree on television?
06. Who was the first actor to officially portray our honoree in a comedic role?
07. Who was the first actor to portray our honoree when the movies had the character cross paths with another monster?

We'll reveal all next weekend.
But for now, let's take a peek inside THE ANSWERS BOX and discover the results of our Puzzle Corner from October 19, 2013.

REBUS
Something very familiar is represented by the image below.  
Do you know what it is?

H I J K L M N O

H20, more commonly known as water.
The letters H to O are listed above.

FAMOUS FIRSTS
When was the very first concert featuring rock and roll music?
Alan Freed, the disc jockey accredited with coining the phrase, hosted the very first rock and roll concert on March 21, 1952. The Moondog Coronation Ball was held at the Cleveland Arena in Cleveland, Ohio USA; which is why the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum is there. Paul Williams (no, not that one) and his Hucklebuckers were to share the stage with 'Tiny' Grimes and the Rocking Highlanders, but the event never got to be completed due to the huge overcrowding of the venue.
Just goes to show how popular the genre is, even in its infancy.

SUNDAY FUNNIES: HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

"Shh! I'm in disguise!"

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY!
Ms. Waxy Dragon here!
I'm wearing my Halloween costume right now because my favorite candy day is coming up!
I have to admit, the tail is a little tight and I can't really flap my wings as much as I would prefer to, but it still is a neat costume, don't you think?
I was originally thinking about dressing up as somebody from Scooby Doo, then I wouldn't have to wait until midnight to unmask everybody, but if I do that then they might not give me any chocolate, and I want all I can get!
Meanwhile, it's joke time, so here are some fun Halloween facts!

Did you know that the most famous Halloween figure in Ireland is Jack O'Lantern?

Dracula's favorite dog is the blood hound.

Did you know skeletons's are great musicians? While most prefer the trombone, some are good at the drums because they like hitting those skins!

Mummies favorite music style is wrap!

The circumference of a pumpkin, divided by its diameter, equals pumpkin pi.

Did you know that witches fly on brooms because vacuum cleaners are too heavy to achieve lift off? But they're great for cleaning!

"Here I am! Where's the chocolate?"

Vampires love baseball, but all they ever want to do is bat.

Phantoms love the roller ghosters at amusement parks!

Well, that's all the time and space I have for this weekend. Stay safe, Trick and Treat responsibly, and we'll be back next weekend with more Sunday Funnies!-wd.
