Five hundred, twenty-five thousand, six hundred TRIVIA QUIZzes!
Today is National Sing-Out Day, a day to break out in song like they do in the musicals. Now let's see...how can I fit a song from Rent into my daily routine at work :)
Today is Petroleum Day, marking the first commercial oil well that began pumping on August 27, 1859 in Titusville, Pennsylvania.
On this day in 1977, Texas Rangers Toby Harrah and Bump Wills hit back-to-back inside-the-park home runs off Ken Clay in Yankee Stadium. The Rangers won 8-2.
On this day in 1996, four armed and masked bandits intent on robbing a Checkers restaurant in Pembroke Pines, Florida, were arrested when it turned out the shrub near the drive-in window was carrying a shotgun. Detective Earl Feugill had been staked-out as a shaggy green bush for 90 minutes waiting for the robbers who had been targeting fast food restaurants.
How about some food trivia: how many gallons of popcorn does the average American consume in a year?
Good luck :)

Well, I hardly eat any, so that balances out the guy who eats a lot. So I'll say....two.
Yeah, I would have thought something like that, too...you know, something reasonable. But, the answer's actually 16 gallons. Yipes!
