Mystery blobs, maligned cities and that terrible Oasis sketch – take the Thursday quiz

Last week’s 100 raccoons story arrived in what is considered “the witching hour” at the Thursday quiz – the time when funny animal stories are published too late on the Wednesday to be included that week, but will be too old by the time the next Thursday rolls around. Still, at least those critters got an honourable mention in this opening blurb. Also last week, there seemed to be some confusion about a quiz that advertises itself as featuring jokes having “Star Wars Episode II: The Wrath of Khan” as an incorrect answer option. For those upset, we can only apologise, and say “may the force be with you, Captain Kirk! Exterminate!” as you tackle this week’s 15 questions on topical trivia, general knowledge and pop culture. Which includes jokes. Enjoy!

The Thursday quiz, No 182
