On this day in 1976, by attaching electrodes to a glass bowl, Ontario neurologist Dr. Adrian Upton discovered that wave activity created by vibrating lime Jell-O is identical to that of the human brain.
On this day in 1981, the Broadway show "Frankenstein" opened and closed on the same night at a reported loss of $2 million. Hm, there must be some "electrodes and brains" theme to today...
On this day in 1999, actress Jennifer Love Hewitt bought dinner for 140 members of Ohio’s Defiance High School band, who were trapped in California following the Rose Bowl Parade because bad weather shut down airports back home. Others provided free meals, amusement park tickets, and tour buses to help the band endure its 4-day entrapment.
So here's some political trivia: On this day in 1999, a former pro wrestler took the oath of office as Minnesota's 37th governor. Who was this man?

I believe that is Jesse "The Body" Ventura, who later tried to re-nickname himself "The Mind" instead of "The Body." Nice try, Jesse!
Yup, Jesse "The Body" Ventura is right...nice answerin', Laine! I had no idea he'd try to re-brand himself; we're not buying it!
