What do you want on your TRIVIA QUIZ?

Happy August!

August is National Catfish Month, sponsored by the Loyal Order of Catfish Lovers in New York City. It’s also Black Business Month, Get Ready for Kindergarten Month, National Back-to-School Month, Family Meal Month, and National Goat Cheese Month.



Today is World Wide Web Day, marking the birth of the Web in August 1990 at the Europe Laboratory for Particle Physics in Switzerland. Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau developed a prototype Web browser and introduced Hypertext Markup Language, HTML. Thanks, guys!

On this day in 1957, Jerry Garcia’s mom gave him an accordion for his 15th birthday. He hocked it and bought a guitar.

On this day in 2002, pizza dough spread across Chippewa County, Wisconsin, after hot weather caused yeast to rise and pop open the back of a Tombstone delivery truck. The truck driver didn't notice for 25 to 30 miles. Police said it "was quite a mess." Workers removed as much dough as they could, but some stuck to the asphalt.


Here's some musical trivia for today: What jazz group originally recorded "Take Five?"

Good luck :)

Oooh, good one. I know Dave Brubeck recorded a version of that, but there has to be someone who did it earlier...maybe the Charlie Parker Quartet?

Your first instinct was a good one, JD...it was the Dave Brubeck Quartet!
