As James Earl Jones would say: "This is..." a TRIVIA QUIZ!

Today is CNN Day. TV's first all news service debuted on this date in 1980, the Cable News Network. Ah, remember back when there was only one 24 hour news source? Those were the days...

On this day in 1938, Superman first appeared in Action Comics. His creator, Toronto artist Joe Shuster, sold his rights to the character for $130. Superman’s origin was inspired by the biblical story of Moses, whose parents abandoned him as a baby to save his life. I'm guessing the guy who sold the rights was also the first guy to say "D'oh!!!"

On this day in 1991, students in Almelo, Netherlands, completed the world’s largest jigsaw puzzle: 204,484 pieces. They finished the 1,036-square-foot puzzle in eight days.

Eight years ago today, Ricky Martin's song held the number 1 spot on the pop charts. Which song was it?

Good luck :)

well the only song i think i can attribute to him, and if pressed i'm not even confident that it was him who sang it, is that living la vita loca song. perhaps i'm not the pop culture czar.

Jody, your title as pop culture czar is secure! It's Livin' La Vita Loca all right!
