I just called...to say...I love TRIVIA QUIZzes!
Today is Cagney & Lacey Day. The TV show debuted on March 25, 1982, starring Meg Foster as Chris Cagney and Tyne Daly as Mary Beth Lacey. Sharon Gless took over the Cagney role after the first season. In the original TV movie, Loretta Swit played Cagney.
Today is National Lobster Newburg Day. Hm, that sounds pretty good!
Today is National Pecan Day, marking this date in 1775 when George Washington planted pecan trees at Mount Vernon. A gift from Thomas Jefferson, some of the trees still survive today.
Today is Waffle Day in Sweden. Or is it? Well, I mean, it kind of is and it kind of isn't...
On this day in 1971, the Boston Patriots became the New England Patriots.
On this day in 1991, Michael Jackson escorted Madonna to the Academy Awards.
On this day in 1996, the new U.S. $100 bill went into circulation. I do not believe I've ever had one of these in my possession!
On this day in 2003, shortly after the National City Bank in downtown Columbus, Ohio, was robbed, police spotted a man about a block away, walking strangely. The 40-year-old man had learned a painful lesson: Never shove stolen money containing an explosive dye pack down your pants. The suspect was charged with aggravated robbery.
And now it's trivia time! Who won an Academy Award on this day in 1985 for the song "I Just Called to Say I Love You"?
Good luck :)

Ouch! Dye pack exploding down your unmentionables! If it was how to train your local robber I think that would be "negative reenforcement"!
Oh, and its got to be Stevie Wonder! Yay!
Lionel Ritchie? That's probably wrong and it's probably Stevie Wonder
I think it was indeed Stevie Wonder. Which reminds me, I was playing Trivial Pursuit once with someone who, when asked, which singer was known by the nickname "Old Blue Eyes," answered Stevie Wonder! Yeah, I don't think that's right ...
And the Stevies have it...it was Stevie Wonder!
Jodi, I know what you mean...I cringed when I read that. Totally not worth the money :) Nice work on the trivia answer! You're the sunshine of my life!
Kim, Lionel's not a bad guess. Of course, now I'm going to have "Hello..." running in my head all day, so thanks! Isn't she lovely?
JD, good answer, and good story. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen Stevie Wonder's eyes! You're my cherie amour!
