Sunday, Monday, Happy TRIVIA QUIZ!
Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, marking Dr. King's birth on January 15th, 1929. The U.S. observance is Third Monday, this year on January 21st. Oh, great, NOW they tell me!
Today is Hug Your Cat Day. Cats need affection even though they act like they don’t want it. If this cat is a tiger, I would not recommend it :)
Today is Donkey Day. In 1870, Thomas Nast, a cartoonist for "Harper's Weekly," first used a donkey to represent the Democratic Party.
Today is New Year's Day for procrastinators. Heh, I thought that one was funny.
On this day in 1827, a Mr. Chaubert volunteered to test a new heat-resistant material called asbestos. He carried a raw steak into a large oven in Paris and emerged 12 minutes later very hot but unharmed. The steak was very well done.
On this day in 1919, a huge holding tank ruptured in Boston, flooding a large area with over 2-million gallons of molasses. Waves of molasses 10 to 20 feet high killed 21 people.
On this day in 1974, "Happy Days" premiered on ABC-TV. It starred Ron Howard, Anson Williams, and Donny Most, along with Tom Bosley, Marion Ross, and Erin Moran. Supporting actor Henry Winkler (The Fonz) quickly became a major star.
On this day in 2004, three teenagers who went streaking through a Spokane, Washington, restaurant watched in horror as a thief drove off in their car, which they left running to make a fast getaway. Naked in below zero degree temperatures, the three youngsters huddled behind cars in a nearby parking garage until police arrived.

umm... chicago? da bears?? :)
This year is SB XLII, so that means the first one was in 1967, won by the Green Bay Packers.
The first Super Bowl was held in 1967 where the Green Bay Packers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs, 35-10.
Kim, not a bad guess, but it was the other two midwest teams ;)
Good job, JD, but since you used "SB" in your answer referring to the Super Bowl, you'll have to pay royalties!
