What a rough day! I need a nice stiff glass of bathtub TRIVIA QUIZ!

Today is Appreciate a Dragon Day, celebrating fictional dragons as memorable characters.

Today is Civil Service Day. On this date in 1883, the Pendleton Act created the federal civil service system and the U.S. Civil Service Commission.

Today is Religious Freedom Day and, for the non-religious, it’s National Fig Newton Day.


On this day in 1920, the U.S. outlawed alcohol and went "dry," a year after states ratified the 18th Amendment. Fourteen years of "prohibition" followed.

On this day in 1978, Mrs. Grace Patterson died in Joplin, Missouri, leaving her $250,000 estate, including a 3-bedroom home and a 7-acre pet cemetery, to her cat, Charlie Chan.

On this day in 1991, boxer George Foreman’s wife Joan gave birth to yet another George, George the 5th. The couple already had three sons: George the 2nd, George the 3nd, and George the 4th. Dad is George the 1st.

Stop: Trivia Time! What M&M color returned on this day in 1987 after an 11 year absence because the original dye used in the candy had caused cancer in lab rats?

Good luck :)
