I used to think Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th were the same TRIVIA QUIZ!

Today is National Candy Corn Day. Um, why today and not tomorrow??

Tonight is Look in the Back of Your Refrigerator Night, also called Haunted Refrigerator Night. Yikes, that could be scary, but again I say, why not tomorrow?

On this day in 1931, W2XB-TV began test telecasting in New York City on channel one. I can't prove or disprove this, but I believe they were the only channel one ever! TV VHF knobs (a TV with knobs, what's that?) all start with 2.

On this day in 1984, ghoul Freddy Krueger slashed his way across the movie screen in the first Nightmare on Elm Street.


On this day in 2002, President George W. Bush signed an act that changed the name of the Oakwood Postal Station in Los Angeles to the Nat King Cole Post Office.

So here's a totally random question: how many teeth, including wisdom teeth, does a healthy adult human have? And no, you can't subtract one for that tooth you lost in the drunken bar fight back in '94!

Good luck :)

I'll agree with Jody at 32.

And how can you forget the Channel One that was broadcast in middle schools everywhere and spawned such legendary newsmen as Anderson Cooper?!

Good work, Jody and Laine! It's 32 teeth, all right.

Laine, I've never seen Channel One myself, but I have heard of it. Did everybody at your school doodle "Anderson Cooper" on their notebooks? ;)
