Banana Fanna Fo Fivia quiz, TRIVIA QUIZ!

Today is Get A Different Name Day, just for today, sponsored by Tom & Ruth Roy of Lebanon, Pennsylvania. By the way, please be thankful that I spare you from Tom and Ruth Roy's other holidays...they are usually quite bad. An example: National dress your kitty up like a puppy day. You're welcome ;) Anybody reading in the vicinity of Lebanon, PA and meets up with either Tom or Ruth, please cut off their Internet access.


Today is National Suck in Your Gut Day. Inhale...and done!

Today is Employee Legal Awareness Day. As if you weren't already celebrating!

On this day in 1795, The University of North Carolina became the first U.S. state university to admit students. Hinton James was the only student on campus the first two weeks. Something tells me he was taunted by Duke students the whole time.

On this day in 1937, the NFL Boston Redskins moved to Washington, D.C.

On this day in 1988, singer Michael Jackson bought a ranch in Santa Ynez, California. He named it "Neverland."

On this day in 2003, Dan Price completed a 4,000-mile cross-country tricycle ride from his home in Joseph, Oregon, to Key West, Florida, to make people aware of the benefits of environmentally-friendly travel. He averaged 50 to 60 miles a day, carried a compact tent, and camped out at night.

OK, trivia hounds...what Mattel toy was "born" on this day back in 1959? I'll give you a hint: it's still available today!

Good luck :)

I was going to guess Cabbage Patch Kids, but 1959 is probably about 20 years too early for that. I think Kim is right with Barbie. I wonder when Ken came into the picture?

How about a yo-yo? By which I mean Barbie, of course...

Barbie's the answer, folks. Ruth Handler was the Mattel employee who "gave birth" to the 11-inch teenager!
