I think "timetable" is used much more generally than just railway or flight schedules - completely threw me off. I was thinking of manifest, itinerary, departure board, flugplan, etc.

A roundworm is a common intestinal parasite that can be up to 14 inches. That seems long to me.

roundworms don't typically reside there, ringworm can be found anywhere on the body

And as mentioned before, ringworms aren't actually worms, but a fungal skin infection.

Roundworms spend their adult life in the small intestine, so yes they do typically reside "there".

Funny, earthworm took me approximately 0.0001 seconds to think of, but I don't know why I knew that.

I am glad they distinguish the earth worm from the non-earth type worm. The two are almost indistinguishable.

An online dictionary definition is a military commander who has seized control of a region in a country, which is fairly similar but I agree it is hard to guess.

On the first question, why not avoid using the word that is the answer? "Nana or Papa" or "Mom's Mom, for example"

Living in the UK, nightcrawler really threw me off the worm question, as well as the fact that I very rarely see the word earthworm rather than just "worm", so I was trying all sorts of other worms.

Yet another thing to add to the 'learned from Jetpunk' list
