One bird, two bird, red bird, blue TRIVIA QUIZ!
Today is Stop and Smell Your Compost Pile Day, a time to snort away the winter blahs and think about spring.
The 4-day Great Backyard bird Count begins today. Ooh, sign me up for that! I'm so glad I have Monday off to...count birds?
Today is National Gumdrop Day. Oh, gumdrops, that sounds good right about now!
Today is National I Want Butterscotch Day. Let's see...I celebrate that every other day, so does that mean I do the opposite today?
On this day in 1764, in Missouri, the city of St. Louis was established.
On this day in 1927, the U.S. issued a patent (#1,661,036) for the Grapefruit Squirt Shield, a shell-shaped grapefruit holder that protected others at the table from being squirted.
On this day in 1969, Vickie Jones was arrested in Florida for impersonating Aretha Franklin during a paid concert. She was so convincing, no one asked for a refund.
On this day in 1998, a two-ton elephant named Tonya escaped from a circus at the high school in Mentor, Ohio, and ambled a quarter mile with police in hot pursuit. She was captured a few minutes later at the Big Lots store. No one was injured. Which just proves, no creature can resist the great deals at Big Lots!
So, a little trivia for your weekend: can anybody guess what holiday it is today in Canada? I'll give you a hint: they adopted a new flag on this day in 1965.
Good luck :)

Um, Canadian flag day?
Also, I assume that video clip was of the real Aretha and not the faker? And how exactly did she think she wouldn't get caught? Even if the audience didn't notice...it still seems like a receipt for disaster to me.
Oops, I meant to say a recipe for disaster!
hehehehe, now i am having images of like a hurricane evacuation and some guy yelling to the fleeing people "hey! don't forget your reciept!"
and I'll guess independence day
How about something like Unity Day? Commemorating the day they incorporated Prince Edward Island into the commonwealth. Hey, how come Prince Edward gets his own island? I bet Prince Charles is jealous.
And the answer is...Maple Leaf Day!
Laine, thinking about your taxes, perhaps? Do you ever miss busy season? :)
Kim, that's hilarious! Kinda like those photos they sell you at amusement parks as you're screaming on a roller coaster...
JD, don't fan the flames of that prince rivalry! It might cause some sort of British royalty scandal, which always ends up in several tabloid headlines and a trashy Fox TV special...
i love trashy fox tv specials....
