Went to a party at the county TRIVIA QUIZ!

Today is National Eat Something Raw Day. Um, besides sushi, or what?

Today is Elvis's birthday. He would be 72. What do they mean "would be"?

Today is Milk Carton Day. On this date in 1929, Sheffield Farms becomes the first company to package milk in paraffin-lined paper cartons instead of glass bottles.

On this day in 1889, Dr. Herman Hollerith of New York patented the first electric computer to process data. The company he founded to market the invention evolved into IBM.

On this day in 1964, President Lyndon Johnson declared a "War on Poverty."

On this day in 1994, skater Tonya Harding won her second national championship. Her major competitor Nancy Kerrigan could not compete after an attacker had injured her knee two days earlier. Harding’s ex-husband was convicted of arranging the attack.


OK, let's get this trivia started! In 1982, what company settled a Justice Department lawsuit by agreeing to divest itself of the 22 Bell System companies? I'll give you a hint: they are still around today...

Good luck :)
