Good evening, sir, would you like a glass of TRIVIA QUIZ before takeoff?

Today is Roller Coaster Day, marking the operation of history's first roller coaster on this date in 1884 at Brooklyn's Coney Island in New York. Builder LaMarcus Thompson called his coaster the "Gravity Pleasure Switchback Railway." The 5-cent, 6-mile-an-hour ride was a sensation.

Also, Ice Cream Days begin today in Le Mars, Iowa, the "Ice Cream Capital of the World," and home of Wells's Blue Bunny. In other news, I'm totally moving to Le Mars, Iowa ;)

On this day in 1966, in a case involving 23-year-old Ernesto Miranda, the U.S. Supreme Court granted criminal suspects the right to remain silent and to have an attorney present during questioning. Miranda was retried, convicted, sent back to prison, paroled, and stabbed to death during a 1976 card game in Phoenix.

And now some airline trivia: How much money did American Airlines save in 1987 by eliminating one olive from each salad served first class?

Good luck :)
