For I come from Alabama with a banjo on my TRIVIA QUIZ!

Today is National Bouillabaisse Day.

Today is Deck the Halls Day and Buy a Tree Day.

Today is Alabama Admission Day. Alabama became the 22nd U.S. state on this date in 1819. Welcome, Alabama!

On this day in 1793, America’s first state road was authorized. It would be built from Frankfort, Kentucky, to Cincinnati.

On this day in 1977, the movie Saturday Night Fever opened in New York, and the sale of polyester leisure suits skyrocketed. The soundtrack album sold 25-million copies worldwide.


On this day in 1999, Charles M. Schulz announced he was retiring the "Peanuts" comic strip. The last original "Peanuts" comic strip would be published on February 13, 2000. Reruns are still appearing in hundreds of newspapers. Great, now I'm going to have the Peanuts theme in my head all day...

How's about switching gears on the trivia? THe name Jeep came from the military abbreviation G.P. What does G.P. stand for?

Good luck :)

How about "general purpose"?

It's amazing that newspapers still publish comic strips, given that kids probably spend most of their time on YouTube or MySpace.

Anybody have a favorite Peanuts character? I was always a big fan of Schroeder (and of course, Snoopy...)
