Odds and Ends
Triple Stumper of the day: No one knew that in a Red Hot Chili Peppers song mentioning the Hollywood Hills, the "wild canids" that "true men don't kill" are coyotes.
Historical footnote: A clue specified that Julie Newmar was the first to play Catwoman in a "Batman" episode, as the character was played in the 1966 movie by Lee Meriwether. The movie was originally intended to be released before the series, but wound up coming out in the summer between the first and second seasons.
