Would you like some butter topping for your TRIVIA QUIZ!?!

Today is Happiness Happens Day, the 8th birthday of the Secret Society of Happy People in Coppell, Texas. Is it just me, or does that sound like a cult?

Today is also National Frozen Custard Day! All right, now I really miss Goodberry's in Raleigh!

On this day in 1923, clarinetist Benny Goodman got his first professional job as a band leader on a Chicago excursion boat. He was 14 years old.


On this day in 1991, students at Stanly Community College in Albermarle, North Carolina, set a world record by filling a container with 5,438 cubic feet of popped popcorn.

On this day in 1999, Tish, the world’s oldest captive goldfish, died in Yorkshire, England, at the age of 43. At least. Seven-year-old Peter Hand had won Tish at a fair in 1956. The fish swam with the family until his death.

Trivia quiz time! So today's is the birthday of John Arbuckle's famous dog. What's the dog's name?

Bonus trivia quiz: what's a tautonym?

Good luck :)

Clifford, the Big Red Dog?

A tautonym (is this a hint?) - something named for a certain person?

Mr. Arbuckle is the owner of Garfield, and his dog is named Odie!

A tautonym is a word with two repeated syllables, like "tutu"
