I think he's got water on the TRIVIA QUIZ!

Today is Be Late For Something Day, sponsored by the Procrastinators' Club of America. Hm, I think that's the worst idea for a day EVER!

Today is Jury Rights Day, marking the day in 1670 when William Penn's jurors refused to convict him of preaching an illegal religion (Quakerism) to an unlawful assembly, his congregation. The action provided the bases for the U.S. Constitution's first amendment rights of freedom of speech, religion, and peaceable assembly. Ahh, that's more like it!

On this day in 1970, Christine McLaughlin was born at exactly 3:30 a.m. in New Bern, North Carolina. Her daughter, Patricia Ann, was born 21 years later, same date, same exact minute.

On this day in 1989, the world's longest zipper was completed by the Yoshida company in Sneek, the Netherlands. It was 9,353 feet long and had 2,565,900 teeth.

On this day in 1996, research reported in The London Times showed 46% of dogs began watching up to an hour before their owners returned home each day, even when the owners worked irregular hours.


So, a little trivia for your noggin: assuming you're average, how much of your brain is water?

Good luck :)

Your brain's actually 80% water!

Let's see, it was 58% when I woke up, but then I just had a glass of water, so I'll say 60%.
