I'll combine two March holidays and have noodles with peanut TRIVIA QUIZ!

March is Women's History Month, American Red Cross Month, National Peanut Month, National Noodle Month, National Lawn Mower Tune-Up Month, International Mirth Month, Humorists Are Artists Month (HAAM), National "On Hold" Month, Spiritual Wellness Month, and National "Talk With Your Teen About Sex" Month.

Today is National Anthem Day. The "Star Spangled Banner" became the U.S. National Anthem on March 3, 1931.

Today is What If Cats and Dogs Had Thumbs Day, a time to be grateful pets can't open cans or refrigerators.

National Cheerleading Week, National Procrastination Week, National School Breakfast Week, Newspaper in Education Week, and National Sleep Awareness Week all begin today.

This video has nothing to do with anything, but I thought it was funny:


On this day in 1879, attorney Belva Ann Lockwood became the first woman to argue a case before the U.S. Supreme Court. She also was America's first woman presidential candidate.

On this day in 1988, singer Luciano Pavarotti set a record with 165 curtain calls at a West Berlin opera. The standing ovation lasted 67 minutes.

On this day in 1991, George Holliday videotaped Los Angeles police officers beating Rodney King.

And on the trivia front, today is the 10th annual Read Across America Day. It is always celebrated on the birthday of which author?

Good luck :)

It's Dr. Seuss!

Kim: Now that you mention it, I wonder when Shakespeare's birthday is. That seems like one of those facts our English teachers should have drilled into our heads!

According to wikipedia, he was baptised April 26, 1564. The wikis think he was born April 23, but nobody knows for sure.

I think it's much, much cooler that it's Dr. Seuss's birthday though :)
