Another time change weekend?!?! It truly is a frightening thing to behold, but here is the Chart of Temporal Mysteries for this extra spooky Round. Please go Spotting for Errors, and if any Mods are available to anchor the haunted house, please do so! I'll just wait here in the Time Maze until the penguins find me.

I ain't afraid of no TICKY BOX 👻! Which is just as well, because Round 155 will be Halloweekend, 31 Oct-2 Nov; I too shall return from the grave to deliver the Schedule of Temporal Mysteries closer to the time.

SOON.

Is it too soon for a new poll? Nonsense! Apparently it's already Fall!
