In the story _Bel and the Dragon_ in the apocryphal Greek additions to the Book of Daniel, Daniel proved himself innocent and the temple priests to be the guilty parties. On #3 I goofed. I meant to ask the Mom’s name (Dumbella Duck), but their Dad’s name is unknown. The trio are staying with Unca Donald because their pranks put their Dad in the hospital. No DQ for me for that one. DQ: From a movie or movies? ---

> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > Did you appear in the fictional work _The Long Dark Tunnel_? > Did you wear a non-matching suit and helmet? > Did you play that character? dunno I thought long and hard about 2&3, and I don’t know if you mean an astronaut, a racecar driver, a football player, a soldier, or what. Do you mean “non-matching” as in different colors, different patterns, different fabric? I’m going to go with Darth Vader and David Prowse on the assumption that reflective black and matte black don’t match. ---
