Remember, only you can prevent TRIVIA QUIZzes!

Today is National Lemonade Day. Also a great day for lemonade cake and lemonade pie, not to mention lemonade sherbet. Hm, I'll just have to have one at the M's game today!

Today is also PG-13 Day. The PG-13 movie rating as introduced on this date in 1984.

On this day in 1950, an 8-pound bear cub that had been seriously burned three weeks earlier in a New Mexico forest fire left for the National Zoo in Washington where he lived to the ripe old bear age of 26. Originally named Hot Foot Teddy by the firemen who saved his life, he became better known as Smokey the Bear.

On this day in 1988, at age 35, singer Cyndi Lauper received her high school diploma from Richmond High in New York City. Well, I guess she just wanted to have fun the first time around...

And now...TRIVIA! How many death sentences did Texas courts uphold in the 1990s for defendants whose lawyers slept during their trials? I'll give you a hint: it's more than zero ;)

Good luck :)

Well, Jody, I'm glad you didn't have any firsthand experience with this question while you were in Texas ;) The answer is 3, although I think I would have felt better if it had been none!
