oddball trivia 9/23/2025
ππ½ππ½ππ½ Hey, hi, hello, and happy Tuesday! It's your brother from another mother combatdavey coming at you from my big comfy bed in Toronto because my back is out and the glue factory doesn't want me.
Today is Tuesday, September 23, 2025, i.e. 9/23/25. Later on in this post you will find some sports trivia questions about September 23, 9s, 23s, and 923s. If you instead find an angry minotaur, you are in the wrong place and our lawyers have assured us we are not responsible for whatever happens to you.
To make Oddball trivia more user-friendly I have recently started putting the answers in the questions posts (below the questions, natch) so that readers/players don't have to wait or fire up the ol' Google machine.
