And what is the deal with those TRIVIA QUIZzes???

Today is National Tap Dance Day, marking the birth of Bill "Bojangles" Robinson in Richmond, Virginia, on this date in 1878. Bojangles is considered one of the greatest tap dancers ever. So, put on your dancing shoes for the long weekend!

On this day in 1977, the movie "Star Wars" opened in U.S. movie theaters. It set a new box office record that stood until "Titanic" in 1999.

Also, on this day in 1992, In Manilla, Pepsi announced that 349 was the winning $37,000-number that day in its "Number Fever" contest. Unfortunately, due to what Pepsi called a computer software glitch, 800,000 people had bottle caps with the winning number. In the resulting public relations nightmare, violence erupted as irate consumers attacked bottling plants and delivery trucks. Yipes!

On a lighter note, how about this trivia question...what item appears in every episode of Seinfeld?

Good luck! :)

Coffee's a good guess...I originally thought cereal, but the answer is actually at least one image of Superman!
