Hello SmirtyPants. Welcome to trusty trivia Thursday.
Today we're slithering into the slimy world of slugs.
Before we begin, a special shout out to Lyndon and Elliot in Houston, Texas.
We're so glad you love listening to Who Smarted and that you really like the trusty narrator.
Hey, that's me. Aw, thanks you too.
And thanks for smarting with us.
And now let's slide into some sticky questions about slugs.
First question. What do we call a slugs shellless relatives?
Is it A, a snail? B, a worm, or C, a caterpillar?
Did you go with A? Absolutely correct.
Snails are essentially slugs with shells.
Next question. What purpose does a slugs slime serve?
Is it A to attract mates?
B, it helps the move, or C, both A and B.
Did you choose C? Spot on.
Slugs slime helps slugs move, and can also be used to attract mates.
Last question. How many eyes does a typical slug have?
Is it A, none? B, two, or C, four?
Selecting B? Exactly right.
Most slugs have two eyes, usually located on the tips of their upper tentacles.
Slimy success, SmirtyPants, you've inched your way through our slug trivia.

Thanks! I wore winter boots every day for two years.
I hate climbing trees. I'm Deborah Goldstein, host of the podcast The Big Fib and half of those statements were indeed Fibs!
On every episode of The Big Fib, we bring on two grown-ups.
One is an expert and the other is a liar and it's the job of our human child contestant to help us figure out who is who, because no one can spot a liar better than a kid.
We've had episodes on everything from Minecraft to Mythology and from Lego to Libraries.
Join me and my robot co-host Lisa on the Big Fib on Apple Podcasts or on gzmshows.com
