What's that? Timmy's stuck in a TRIVIA QUIZ??!!??

Today is Lassie Day, marking the debut of the TV show on this date in 1954. Through the years, the cast included six different Lassies, Tommy Rettig, Cloris Leachman, and June Lockhart. I'm pretty sure those last three didn't play the part of Lassie :)

Today is Fraggle Rock Day, marking the TV premier of the cartoon version of the children's show that featured the Fraggles, the Doozers, and the Gorgs. Now I'll have that theme song in my head all day!


On this day in 1970, singer James Taylor released "Fire and Rain." It would peak at #3 in November behind the Jackson 5's "I’ll Be There" and the Carpenters’ "We’ve Only Just Begun."

On this day in 1983, Albert Rizzo of Malta set the world water treading record with 108 hours 9 minutes in the ocean. That's four and a half days.

On this day in 1995, the Harlem Globetrotters’ 8,829-game, 24-year winning streak ended when they lost 91-85 in Zurich, Switzerland, to a team led by retired pro Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. It was the Trotters first loss since the New Jersey Generals won 100-99 on January 15, 1971.

A little trivia quiz action: What US company prints more money every day than the US Treasury?

Good luck :)
