The Famous Corn Palace is located in lovely South TRIVIA QUIZ!

Today is National Refuse to Capitalize the First Letters in Your Name Day, always on singer k.d. lang's birthday.

(I so used to think this song was "Constant Gravy")

Today is Deviled Egg Day and Piggy Bank Day, a good day to take your lunch to work and save.

Today is North Dakota Day and South Dakota Day. North Dakota became the 39th U.S. state on this date in 1889, South Dakota became the 40th state.

On this day in 1896, Britain issued the first motor car insurance policy, but damage caused by frightened horses was specifically excluded. This is why you always have to read the fine print!

On this day in 1991, some 100 members of the Tenafly High School class of 1956 finally held their senior prom in Tenafly, New Jersey. The original prom was cancelled after beer bottles were thrown from a bus in the Lincoln Tunnel during a class trip to New York City.

On this day in 2003, British intelligence finally identified a mysterious transmission that had baffled analysts for days. The nation's leading communications scientists determined strange high-frequency noises coming from Scarborough signal station in Yorkshire were caused by a goat rubbing its horns against an antenna mast.

Here's a question for ya: What congressional award was Dr. Mary Edwards Walker the first woman to receive?

Good luck :)

Yup, Kim and JD are right! It's the Congressional Medal Of Honor! I still have no clue what she did to deserve it, though...
