Big stadium fall down go TRIVIA QUIZ!

Today is Make Up Your Own Holiday Day, a day to name for whatever you wish, sponsored by the Tom and Ruth Roy of Lebanon, Pennsylvania. Oh come on Tom and Ruth, what a cop out! No "stuff your cat in a tea cozy day" or something?

Today is National Nougat Day. So Snickers bars for lunch!

Today is National Puppy Appreciation Day.

On this day in 1885, the Eastman Dry Plate and Film Company of Rochester, New York, manufactured the first commercial motion picture film. Which led to the movie industry...which led to YouTube :)

On this day in 1937, spinach growers in Crystal City, Texas, unveiled a statue of their hero, Popeye the Sailor, on the town square. It's still there.

On this day in 1951, during an exhibition game between the New York Yankees and the USC Trojans, 19-year-old rookie Mickey Mantle hit a 660-foot home run out of USC’s Bovard Stadium.

On this day in 2000, the Seattle Kingdome was imploded to make way for a new football arena.


And now for some trivia: Your dream is to have your picture taken standing beside a 110-foot-tall hockey stick. What state should you go to to realize this dream?

Good luck :)

Yup, it's in Eveleth, Minnesota. It weighs 10,000 pounds. It’s on Main Street, you can’t miss it.

Nice work, JD! And yes, every day is puppy appreciation day...
