Just one dumb question.....except for the position of the athlete's body....what's the difference between "skeleton" and "luge"?

The sled.

The luge sled has much larger runners. The skeleton sled is very minimal, the name comes from it being "bony" in appearance.

So....does that mean the skeleton is a lot faster than the luge?

No, the luge is faster.

Meh!!
I think they're all fucking nutters for wanting to slide down a huge ice track on a tea tray, with or without runners.

I agree....although I do think it might be kind of fun to do just once ......just not as freaking fast!!! I heard that the skeleton riders go around 80 mph.....holy crap that nuts....I think it would be need to ride one of those at maybe half that speed....or a bit less!
^^^^ this.
