I know if you're one under par it's a birdie, but this is a TRIVIA QUIZ!
Today is Girl Scout Day. Juliette Gordon Low founded the organization in Savannah, Georgia, on this date in 1912. At first, the groups were called Girl Guides.
Today is the Hell's Angels' Birthday. The motorcycle group was created on this date in 1948.
Today is Independence Day in Mauritius: a country I can now locate on a map thanks to Phil!
Today is National Donkey Appreciation Day. And I do, but I doubt Ari and Staella from The Amazing Race feel the same way!
On this day in 1974, "Wonder Woman" premiered on television, starring Lynda Carter. Wonder Woman’s secret identity was Diana Prince. The original comic book character was created by Charles Moulton, who also invented the lie detector. How's that for a random fact?
Stop a war with love?
On this day in 1990, 153,000 snails were reported missing from a snail farm in Hebburn, England, apparently history's largest snail disappearance. Can anybody name another snail disappearance?
On this day in 1993, golfer Anne Marie Palli set an LPGA record on the 9th hole by killing a flying duck with her 2nd shot. Both the duck and her ball fell into the water. Of course, it cost her a penalty.
On this day in 2002, in Leuven, Belgium, a cyclist beat a Ferrari in a 12-mile race through rush-hour traffic. Bert Meulemans, a local councilor, finished 15 minutes in front of the car. He drove along cycle paths while his motoring colleague struggled through congested streets. The councilor wanted to encourage cycling.
Ok, two more questions for today...on this day in 1986, history's fattest cat died. What was his weight?
Ready for another? What's the medicine Clomicalm the first FDA-approved treatment for?
Good luck :)

A really fat cat, eh? How about 35 pounds. And clearly, Clomicalm is to treat cat obesity :)
Love the Amazing Race references today! For all those readers out there who don't live in Seattle, check out Sesame Street today for "The Amazing Alphabet Race"! We've had that set on our DVR for weeks.
The cat was 47 lbs!! Yikes!
Clomicalm is actually an FDA-approved dog antidepressant (Use only as directed and only in conjunction with canine therapy).
JD, good guesses! Readers will have to check their local listings for this episode of Sesame Street: PBS stations air stuff independently. It is, however, on the Slingbox TiVo as we speak, so they can check it out there :)
