Ya working out the theme was easy I think?

Might have been able to reverse engineer an answer or two from it
are you thinking of me when you're with somebody else?

It's answer time!

Spoiler: What were the answers?
QUESTION 1: Professional sports teams moving to another city is a relatively rare occurrence, but after almost two decades of no moves the NFL has seen two franchises move in the last two years and will see a third go to Las Vegas as soon as a stadium is built. The Oakland Raiders are going to Vegas, the San Diego Chargers headed north to Los Angeles, and the third team is what prodigal team that returned to its previous city after leaving in 1995?
ST LOUIS/LOS ANGELES RAMS

QUESTION 2: A Minnesota dentist named Walter Palmer made headlines and sparked outrage in 2015 when it was revealed he had shot and killed what animal while on vacation?
CECIL THE LION

QUESTION 3: The CW has had several superhero-themed TV shows. In addition to Superman, The Flash, and Supergirl, the CW also has a show about Oliver Queen, better known to the citizens of Star City as whom?
GREEN ARROW

QUESTION 4: Like The Rock before him, professional wrestler John Cena is starting to transition to Hollywood. His recent films include Blockers, Trainwreck, and an animated cartoon where he voices the lead character. Name that movie or the children's book by Munro Leaf that it is based on.
FERDINAND/THE STORY OF FERDINAND

QUESTION 5: The most famous privateer in history, Sir Francis Drake, was basically a legally-sanctioned pirate. His letter of marque was given to him by what monarch who created this "supplemental Navy" of privateers that would later prove invaluable in defending against the Spanish Armada?
QUEEN ELIZABETH I

QUESTION 6) Although the term "Internet troll" was originally a reference to a method of fishing, it can be argued that the term stayed popular due to its double meaning referencing a creature who lives under a bridge in what classic fairy tale?
THE THREE BILLY GOATS GRUFF

QUESTION 7) She got her start acting at 9 months old. She would go on to star in many TV movies, children's musical mystery videos, and a feature film in which Dr. Drew Pinsky played her father. In 2012 she announced she was retiring from acting to focus on her fashion career. Name either of the women I could be referring to.
MARY-KATE AND ASHLEY OLSEN

QUESTION 8) In the world of model trains, G, O, S, HO, TT, and N all refer to different types of what?
SCALES/GAUGES

QUESTION 9) The Owens Valley sits 200 miles away from Los Angeles, California. Nevertheless, residents in the Valley have a long history of suing the city, largely in response to ecological damage caused by the construction of what?
AQUEDUCT

QUESTION 10) Alan Rickman, Patrick Swayze, and Steve Jobs all died of what SPECIFIC disease?
PANCREATIC CANCER

QUESTION 11) Most people think about spiders when they hear the word "arachnid", but the class Arachnida also includes mites, ticks, and what other venomous animals?
SCORPIONS

QUESTION 12) All players are dealt a hand of cards. Player 1 asks Player 2 if she has any jacks. If she does, she gives them all to Player 1. If she does not, Player 1 draws a card from the deck. What game are they playing?
GO FISH

BONUS QUESTION! What is the Mystery Theme?
THE ZODIAC


Here are the results!

Nexus finally makes it over the hurdle and picks up his first gold! TanisNikana's silver now gives her one of each trophy, and Pine makes his first appearance on the Trophy Board by barely eking out the bronze.

This week the category is Mythical Beasts And Where To Find Them! Next week VashtaNeurotic has asked me to promote his LSG Reverse the Curse, so get ready for some Curse-ive!

Woo! I feel like an ass for not getting the theme. It probably would have let me reverse-engineer the train question, though I still wouldn't have known what kind of cancer it was. Shit, that would have left me tied for silver, too. Gave up too quick on the theme.

Yeeeeeet! I think I got all twelve. Mythology is a sweet spot for me. The two I had no idea on I was able to work backwards from trying to fit mythological creatures into the answer.

I feel like the best suggestion for topics is being ignored, because I have submitted "NIC CAGE NIC CAGE NIC CAGE" at least 3 weeks in a row now, and there is no better topic out there... maybe Jeff Goldblum.
