If you want to see the most boring national historical site, I recommend the Battle of Little Big TRIVIA QUIZ!

Today is National Fried Okra Day. YUCK!

Today is also Little Bighorn Day. The Sioux army, led by Chiefs Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, wiped out Lt. Col. George Custer’s U.S. forces on this date in 1876 at the Little Bighorn River in Montana.

On this day in 1949, Billboard magazine renamed its "Hillbilly Music Chart" as "Country & Western."

On this day in 1991, Francis Johnson’s world record 8.7-ton ball of twine, which he had been building since 1950, was moved to a prominent place in downtown Darwin, Minnesota, where more people could see it. Believe it or not, there's a Weird Al song about this very ball of twine!

Here's some trivia for ya: A year ago today, how much money did Warren Buffett commit to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation?

Good luck :)

I think it was 14 billion, or something ridiculous like that.

Would you believe that it was $30 billion??? If I gave that amount, it would almost clear out my checking account ;)
