TODAY’S QUESTION

What literary work inspired a Spider-Man villain, an episode of Gilligan’s Island, paintball, and a Jean-Claude Van Damme film?

That question, again:

If you’re looking for pad kee mao at your favorite Thai restaurant, you’ll usually find it listed under what more colorful English name?

Pad kee mao is also known as drunken noodles. Why drunken? Either because they’re a good hangover cure, or because they’re so spicy you’ll need a lot of beer to eat them. (Just order them at one or two stars and prove your iron tonguedness later.)
