A three-hour TRIVIA QUIZ!

Today is Edsel Day, commemorating September 4, 1957, when Ford Motor Company introduced its infamous $350-million disaster car, the 1958 Edsel. It was the first car with a wrap-around windshield, electric door locks, cruise control, and four headlights.

Today is also National Macadamia Nut Day.

On this day in 1964, "Gilligan’s Island" premiered on CBS-TV. The cast was stranded for three full seasons and 98 episodes. Bob Denver was Gilligan, Alan Hale Jr. played the Skipper. A Saturday cartoon version lasted three more seasons on ABC.


On this day in 1982, 8,659 British dancers formed history's longest conga line near London.

Sports trivia time: back in 1993, New York Yankee pitcher Jim Abbott pitched a no-hitter against Cleveland. What's so special about Abbott that would make that a surprising accomplishment?

Good luck :)

Oooh, I know this one! Abbott has only one arm. He made it hard to root against the Yankees that year....
