Don't say a TRIVIA QUIZ for me now...
The 3-day Kool-Aid Days celebration begins today in Hastings, Nebraska, the proud home of Kool-Aid. They'll be pouring all 22 flavors at a gallon a minute at the world's largest Kool-Aid stand. Sign me up for that!!
Today is also National Duran Duran Appreciation Day. Hm, I wonder if some holidays have an expiration date ;)
On this day in 1498, England’s King Henry the 7th paid John Cabot a 10-pound reward for discovering Canada. In American currency, that was about $15 worth of beads.
On this day in 1995, a drug addict who snatched purses to finance his habit grabbed a lady’s purse in Bari, Italy, as he sped past on a motorcycle. He didn’t recognize his own mother, but she recognized him and reported him to police.
Trivia time: Back in Italy, Pliny the Younger once wrote: "We were terrified to see everything changed, buried in ashes like snowdrifts." What was he talking about?
Good luck :)

i have no idea about the trivia question but i had to comment about the video. i especially love the parts with the elephants! man, i never realized just how lonnnngggg that song is!
I'm guessing that Pliny was talking about the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in A.D. 79 that buried the city of Pompeii. I was there in 1998 - what I remember most about it (besides the erotic art on the walls) was how hot and dusty it was!
JD's got it right! It's the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius. Thank goodness it didn't erupt while you were there :)
Jody: I know, I can't believe that song goes on so long. Crazy videos!
