Thank you for being a TRIVIA QUIZ!

Today is Hug a Crabby Stranger Day. Um, not sure I would recommend that one...

Today is National Cream-Filled Doughnut Day. Hm, I wonder if this includes the "Kreme"-filled ones at Dunkin' Donuts.

On this day in 1985, "The Golden Girls" premiered on NBC. The comedy starred Bea Arthur, Betty White, Rue McClanahan, and Estelle Getty.


On this day in 1987, police finally decided a bullhorn was useless during a 90-minute riot at a convention for the deaf in Blackpool, England. Four policemen were injured by flying beer cans; seven rioters were arrested.

On this day in 1990, in an unprecedented father-son feat, Seattle’s Ken Griffey and Ken Griffey Jr. hit back-to-back home runs off California’s Kirk McCaskill. California won the game anyway.

In other Washington state sports trivia: what did Brandi Carbee and Natalie Svenvold of Bellingham do for 75 hours straight to set a new world record on this day in 2003?

Good luck :)

In 2003, Brandi Carbee and Natalie Svenvold of Bellingham, Washington, set a world record of 75 hours for teeter-tottering. The old record was 24 hours. The ladies said they were very, very tired -- especially their butts. Take that, Bobby and Cindy Brady!
