In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean TRIVIA QUIZ!

Today is I Love to Write Day, a great day to write something, a poem, a short story, a letter to the editor. Or a novel: it's not too late to start NaNoWriMo!

Today is National Sing in Your Car Day. Um, isn't that every day??


Today is Don't Try to Do Everything at Once Day.

On this day in 1492, in history's first written reference to a new discovery, Christopher Columbus made notes in his journal about the use by New World Indians of tobacco.

On this day in 1995, a truck accident near Muncie, Indiana, spilled onto the highway 22 tons of turkey legs.

On this day in 2002, a four-ton elephant named Tina cut through the drive-through line at a McDonald's in Cape Coral, Florida. Tina happily swallowed 10 veggie burgers that she grabbed from workers by sticking her snout through the drive-through window. The stunt was a promotion for a visiting circus.

On this day in 2005, the town council voted in Clark, Texas, north of Dallas-Fort Worth, to change the community's name to DISH. In return the town would get 56 satellite dishes - one for each home and another for town hall - as EchoStar Communications hooked up every home in DISH to the Dish Network satellite TV system, worth an estimated $4,500 each. The deal would last ten years.

It's trivia time! What former "band" made up of Fabrice Morvan and Rob Pilatus won a Best New Artist grammy in 1990 but never sang a note?

Good luck :)

Milli Vanilli!

"Blame it on the rain..."

Yep, I'll have that in my head the rest of the day, as will all of you.

Nice work, guys! It was Milli Vanilli. I have a feeling I still have their tape somewhere :)
