It was an itsy-bitsy, teenie-weenie, yellow polka dot TRIVIA QUIZ!

Today is International Bikini Day. The skimpy two-piece swim suit, created by Louis Reard, debuted on this date in1946 at a Paris fashion show. It was named for a Pacific atoll where the atomic bomb was first tested.

Today is also National Apple Turnover Day.

On this day in 1980, Tom Shufflebotham charmed 511 worms out of the ground in 30 minutes at the World Worm Charming Championships in Willaston, England. Worm charmers ply their talent by shaking the ground (digging?) with various garden tools. Water may not be used.

On this day in 1993, Dave Lampson of Centreville, Virginia, received a tax statement from IRS claiming he owed $68-billion! He was to pay $500 a month for 11-million years. An IRS official said it was a computer error.

Here's some presidential trivia: Who were the first three presidents of the United States? What game did they all enjoy playing?

Good luck :)

George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson. And I'm going to say they all enjoyed whist. Unless of course it was Hungry, Hungry Hippos...

Why, Park 'n' Shop (the new hit game from Milton Bradley), of course!

Kim's got the presidents correct, but the game was actually marbles. I'm assuming that's not Marble Madness for the original NES, but I'm not entirely sure ;)
