And these are my nephews: Huey, Dewey, and TRIVIA QUIZ!

Today is National Play-Dough Day, marking its invention on this date in 1956. At last report, over 900 million pounds had been sold. My sister and I made our own play-dough once...what a mess!


Today is Times Day. The New York Times was first published on this date in 1851.

On this day in 1927, the Columbia Broadcasting System, a network created by 26-year-old William Paley, began programming with 16 stations. Paley was president or board chairman of CBS for 55 years. Hm, looks like TV shows and networks debut in the fall :)

On this day in 1965, the first episode of "I Dream of Jeannie" aired on NBC-TV. The series ran through September 1, 1970. Captain Tony Nelson and Jeannie’s prime-time relationship lasted through September 1970.

On this day in 1985, "Late Night with David Letterman" presented its first "Top Ten List," Things That Almost Rhyme With Peas.

A little bit 'o trivia: Why were Donald Duck comics once banned in Finland?

Good luck :)

I feel like it has something to do with the Nazis. Those Finnish are sensitive about that stuff... ?

Oh, Finland! It's because Donald's not wearing any pants!
