Fame! I'm gonna live for TRIVIA QUIZ!!

Today is Race Your Mouse Around the Icons Day, something to do while waiting for files to load. I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume everybody reading this has a computer :P

Today is Submarine Day, marking this date in 1965 when 17-year-old Fred DeLuca opened Pete’s Super Submarines in Bridgeport, Connecticut. He called it Pete’s because Dr. Peter Buck, his friendly nuclear physicist, loaned him $1,000 to start the restaurant. A year later they changed the name to Subway. Today there are 28,046 Subways in 87 countries. No wonder every small town in Connecticut has a Subway!!


On this day in 1907, Seattle teenagers Claude Ryan and Jim Casey started a local delivery service called the American Messenger Company. Later, the name was changed to United Parcel Service: UPS.

On this day in 1963, Some 200,000 people participated in a peaceful civil rights "Freedom March" in Washington, where the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Peter, Paul & Mary sang "Blowin' in the Wind."

Here's an interesting Americana question: How many stars are there on Hollywood's Walk of Fame?

Good luck :)
