Guesses for new set:
31. No idea. They made up all that stuff WAY after my comic book time.
32. London
33. pest control
34. I have eaten fresh cannoli IN Sicily in a family bakery of our Sicilian tour guide on a day when the bakery was closed. His Mom came in and made cannolis for our group. I thought it was just whipped cream, but Bigdog, our family foodie, said it was something stiffer, like sweetened whipped ricotta cheese, so I will go with that.
35. My first inclination was Port-au-Prince, but Bigdog thinks Havana is more populous, will go with Havana
36. I only sort of know this because it was asked here before and correctly answered, and I think it was Moses.
37. Leather
38. Bigdog helping says Saudi Arabia, maybe Egypt. I counter with first choice Turkey, second choice Greece. Going with Turkiye, new spelling, which was one of the answers on the 9 minutes of Jeopardy I watched the other day. I normally do not watch Jeopardy.
39. red, no idea
40. they rode horses
