Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed TRIVIA QUIZ!

November is National American Indian Heritage Money, National AIDS Awareness Month, Aviation History Month, American Diabetes Month, Epilepsy Awareness Month, Family Stories Month, National Adoption Month, National Alzheimer's Disease Month, National COPD and Lung Cancer Awareness Month, National Family Caregivers Month, National Hospice Month, and Peanut Butter Lovers' Month.

Today is Men Make Dinner Day. Um, that's every day at our house, but that could have something to do with the demographics ;)

The annual Elephant Roundup begins today in Surin, Thailand, with elephant parades and elephant soccer.


On this day in 1913, Notre Dame introduced the forward pass. Quarterback Gus Dorais completed 17 of 21 passes to receiver Knute Rockne to defeat a surprised Army team 35 to 13.

On this day in 1924, in Ottawa, Canada's National Hockey League awarded a franchise to the Boston Bruins, the NHL's first U.S. team.

On this day in 1944, "Harvey," a comedy by Mary Chase about a man and his friend, an invisible 6-foot-tall rabbit, opened on Broadway. I've never seen the play, but the movie is hilarious!

OK, trivia time! What big packaging change did McDonalds announce on this day back in 1990? I'll give you a hint: they would have had no way to serve their McDLT!

Good luck :)

Yeah, I think Jody's got it...they stopped using Styrofoam containers.

Was that all the way back in 1990? Jeez...I used to love the McDLT!

I know I missed the quiz, but I just have to ask - if World AIDS day December 1, then why is National AIDS Awareness month November? What, the world declared a day so the US had to declare a whole month?!

ok this is really belated, but it may be the US just apologizing for reagan, like, oops, we ignored it, but look! We're giving it it's own month!
