I'll take the center square to block, TRIVIA QUIZ!

Today is Tic Tac Dough Day. The CBS-TV game show debuted on this date in 1956. It ran three years, then was resurrected for a year in 1978 and again in the 80s. I think I've seen all 3 zillion episodes of this starring Wink Martindale...beware the dragon!

Today is National Cheesecake Day. Um, what day is not cheesecake day??

On this day in 1978, Gary Deathbridge set a record by racing the 36 miles from Nanaimo to Vancouver, British Columbia, in one hour 29 minutes 40 seconds in a 6-horse-power outboard bathtub.

On this day in 2003, An extreme sports fanatic became the first man to cross the English Channel in an unpowered flight. Felix Baumgartner jumped from a plane 30,000 feet above Dover and glided 22 miles at speeds up to 220 miles an hour in a 10-minute flight. He landed by parachute near Calais, France.

This trivia is out of this world: What substance has been included on every Russian and American space mission?

Good luck :)

Cheese is a good guess! My first thought was Tang, but it turns out it's chocolate. Why? I have no clue...
