I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of TRIVIA QUIZzes!

Today is National Oatmeal Cookie Day, so treat yourself to one...well, at least one!

Today is National Hairball Awareness Day, so I thought I'd come up with something cat-themed!

I just thought this was a funny story:

On April 27, 2003:
A 28-year-old Italian student took her final law exam in an Arezzo hospital delivery room after authorities said giving birth was not an excuse to miss the test. Eight law school examiners gave the 30-minute oral exam. A couple of hours after acing the exam, the new lawyer gave birth to a healthy daughter.
