Norman Bates was a little too attached to his TRIVIA QUIZ!

Happy 200th post to me, happy 200th post to me...oh it seems like only 100 posts ago I was celebrating my 100th post :)

Today is World Mental Health Day, sponsored by the United Nations.

Today is National Floppy Hat Day, a day to wear the floppiest hat you can find for at least a half hour. That's funny: I thought that was usually the same day as the Kentucky Derby. Well, I guess that's much less than half an hour...

Today is National Angel Food Cake Day.

On this day in 1886, the tuxedo dinner jacket made its American debut at the autumn ball in Tuxedo Park, New York.

On this day in 1976, Dimitrion Yordanidis set a record in Athens, Greece, by finishing a 26-mile marathon in 7 hours 33 minutes. Dimitrion was 98 years old.

On this day in 1989, the U.S. issued a patent (#4,872,422) to Rita Vecchia of Bend, Oregon, for her Automatic Pet Scratcher, a wall-mounted device with an artificial hand and electric eye that starts a scratching motion whenever a dog or cat comes close to it. Hey, what about hedgehogs???


Well it's October, so how about some horror movie trivia? What substance was used as the fake blood in the infamous shower scene from Hitchcock's "Psycho"?

Good luck :)

I'm going to guess ketchup. Speaking of which, when did people stop spelling it "catsup"?

Congratulations on your 200th post, R-dogg!

Hmm, I was going to guess ketchup but it seems jon has beaten me to it... so I'm going to guess red kool aid. Or maybe red kool aid somehow thickened with cornstarch or something, it would be a bit runny...

All good guesses, but since Psycho is in black and white, the props folks chose to use chocolate syrup!
