Ok, so that's two shakes, two orders of fries, and one TRIVIA QUIZ!

Today is National Drive-Through Day, marking the founding of America's first drive-through hamburger chain, Jack-in-the-Box, in 1951.

Today is Pioneer Day in Utah, marking Brigham Young's arrival in the Salt Lake Valley on this date in 1847.

On this day in 1969,
the Apollo 11 astronauts, including the first men to set foot on the moon, splashed down safely in the Pacific Ocean.

On this day in 2002,
a fleet of six bicycle ambulances, complete with flashing blue lights, sirens and heart-starting defibrillators, hit the streets of London. The two-wheeled ambulances were sent to emergency calls downtown at the same time as their four-wheel counterparts. Trials revealed the bicycles were likely to arrive first in 88 percent of cases. In a third of calls, the bicycle medic was also able to treat the patient at the scene and cancel the full ambulance response.

How about some musical trivia: What musical instrument do most Americans prefer to play? I'll give you a hint...it's not the clarinet!

Good luck :)

I'm shocked ... shocked! it's not the clarinet.

Hmmm, maybe piano. I'll say guitar - tons of people at least think they want to play it...

I think Mark was right with his first answer. I'll say piano!

It's the piano, all right. I don't see the appeal, really...you can't carry it around, like, say, oh I don't know...a clarinet ;)
