All I need is two more sixes and I'll have TRIVIA QUIZ!

Sorry for the lack of post yesterday, I was having computer issues!

Tonight is Play An Old Game You Haven’t Played in Years Night. Maybe Yahtzee, Scrabble, Monopoly, or Canasta. Hungry Hippo?


Today is Inspire Your Heart With the Arts Day.

Today is Independence Day in Nauru.

On this day in 1874, Jesse James robbed a train near Gadshill, Missouri, than gave the engineer a press release about the robbery and ordered him to pass it along to the local newspaper.

On this day in 1947, the coldest official temperature in Canadian history was recorded at Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, when the mercury fell to 62 degrees below zero (F).

On this day in 1985, the last Jeep, the military workhorse vehicle in World War II, rolled off the assembly line at the American Motors plant in Toledo, Ohio. The brand name was later revived for consumers by Chrysler.

On this day in 1990, McDonald's opened its first fast-food restaurant in Moscow.

On this day in 2007, Stockholm police investigating reports of an odd smell from an apartment found 11 swans, and, apparently no humans, living there. Police said the birds appeared to be well taken care of but, at last report, had not found the caretaker.

And now it's trivia time! So, what common item did the 3M company invent on this day in 1928?

Good luck :)
