With Bob Barker off the air, I totally forgot to have my cat TRIVIA QUIZzed!
Today is Thriller Day, marking this date in 1983 when Michael Jackson’s Thriller album reached #1 on Billboard’s album chart. It stayed there 37 weeks and sold 40-million LPs worldwide.
Today is Spay Day USA, , when the Doris Day Animal Foundation asks every American to take responsibility for having at least one dog or cat spayed or neutered. What knife, Rover? I just want to talk, that's all...
Today is National Pistachio Day. Yum! Please excuse the shells I might leave on this entry...
The annual Cat Festival begins today throughout Belgium.
On this day in 1919, Congress established Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona.
On this day in 1991, the U.S. issued a patent (#4,995,374) to William Black of Margate, Florida, for his Automatic Throw and Fetch Doggie Toy. The device will throw a ball, which a dog can fetch, return, drop into the funnel on top, and the machine will throw it again. And again and again.
On this day in 1996, a 38-year-old Muncie, Indiana, woman tried to remove a callus from her foot by shooting it off with .410-gauge shotgun. She told police later at the hospital she had been drinking heavily and it seemed like a good idea. It wasn’t.
On this day in 1998, an Amarillo, Texas, jury rejected an $11 million lawsuit by Texas cattlemen who blamed Oprah Winfrey's talk show for a price fall after a segment on mad-cow disease.
OK, trivia buffs, try this one on: the 22nd Amendment ot the US Constitution was ratified on this day in 1951. What limit did this Amendment impose?

I'm going to say that the 22nd amendment imposed term limits for President. I will be very proud if that is correct, as I pulled that out of nowhere.
I also want to comment on how much I love that video. That groom is one slick dancer! Although it did invoke some unfortunate flashbacks to reenacting a scene from Grease at Karen & Justin's wedding.
i was going to guess it was the one that repealed prohibition, but I think that may have been the 21st, I think Laine is right.
Wow, nice work folks! It is the term limit amendment!
Laine, I know...I love that video! Now, what's the YouTube address for the video of you re-enacting Grease? ;)
Kim, you're right that Amendment 21 repealed prohibition, which paved the way for the invention of Mike's Hard Lemonade: a national treasure!
