Auntie Em, Auntie Em, it's a TRIVIA QUIZ!

Today is Reading Guilt Day, a day to actually start reading an entire book you only read the Cliff Notes version of in college. Hmm, I guess that means I'll finally have to read Billy Budd...

Today is also National Blueberry Muffin Day. Oh good, so I can have something good to eat when I fall asleep on my copy of Billy Budd ;)

On this day in 1914, Babe Ruth made his major-league debut with the Boston Red Sox at an annual rookie salary of $2,900. Six years later he signed with the Yankees for $125,000.

On this day in 1971, the U.S. Department of Agri­culture was allocated $19,520 to deter­mine if a woman's place was in the home. Really?

On this day in 1992, a Japanese rancher told Tokyo reporters he outfitted his cattle with pocket pagers. He said it took the cows about a week to learn that the beep means it's time to eat. He just dials the beeper number and they come running. Now, holler if you've sent a numeric page to anybody in the last 10 years!

Here's some weather trivia: we all know that the US has more tornadoes than any other nation, but what's the number two nation? I'll give you a hint: it's in the southern hemisphere.

Good luck :)
