CALLING ALL SMARTY BUTTS! It’s time to put that brainy-brain to the test with this edition of POP QUIZ PDX—our local, sassy-ass trivia quiz. And this week we’ll see how much YOU know about local leaks, election losers, gorgeous bats, and that mysterious thing living inside your toilet (which, by the way, is not paying rent)! 🧻 But first, let’s check in on your top choices for the always fascinating SUBJECTIVE QUESTION from our previous quiz! And while I’m not thrilled by the fact I was your SECOND choice for which monster you’d most like to marry and have sex with for the rest of your life—I’d totally hit that 1930s Dracula myself! 🧛‍♂️ Anywaaaaaay… READY TO START? Take this week’s quiz below, take our previous pop quizzes here, and come back next week for a brand spankin’ new quiz! (Having a tough time answering this quiz? It’s probably because you aren’t getting Mercury newsletters! HINT! HINT!) Now crank up that cerebellum, because it’s time to get BRAINY!

Another conversation to explore, separate from this news story.

An old friend refuses to use someone's new name. Do you correct them at the reunion?

At a reunion, an old friend repeatedly uses the name a former classmate had years ago. They say shared history gives the old name affectionate meaning; the classmate has clearly introduced themselves with a different name.

When does preserving your shared past deny who someone is now?
