You know what they say about TV...500 channels all TRIVIA QUIZzes!
Today is Vast Wasteland Day, the day in 1961 when Federal Communications Commission Chairman Newton Minow challenged network TV executives to sit through an entire day of their own programming. Minow suggested they would observe a "vast wasteland."
On this day in 1984, In Chicago the White Sox beat Milwaukee 7-6 in the 25th inning of history's longest baseball game: 8 hours 6 minutes. The game had begun the night before but was suspended because of a 1:00 a.m. curfew.
So check out this famous poem:
As I was going to St. Ives I met a man with seven wives, Each wife had seven sacks, each sack had seven cats, Each cat had seven kits: kits, cats, sacks and wives.
The question? How many were going to St. Ives?
Good luck :)

2801 living things were going to st. Ives. i'm not good at math. so perhaps i'm wrong.
Well, the answer to this one's debatable, but I think the intended answer is 1, since only the author is actually headed to St. Ives. Still, if he caught up with this giant group also headed that direction, then Jody's got the right answer!
