In Seattle, we open umbrellas every TRIVIA QUIZ!

Today is National Open An Umbrella Indoors Day, a day to open an umbrella indoors and see if anything bad happens, sponsored by Thomas Knibb of Walkersville, Maryland.

Today is World Kidney Day. Anybody hear about the Starbucks barista in Tacoma, WA who is donating a kidney to one of her regular customers?

Today is Good Samaritan Involvement Day, a time to be unselfish and get involved to help others. So everybody give a kidney to a casual acquaintance!


Today is Earmuffs Day. Chester Greenwood of Maine patented earmuffs on this date in 1887.

On this day in 1964, 28-year-old Kitty Genovese was stabbed to death in Queens, New York. The murder occurred over several hours during which the killer left and returned, yet not one of 37 witnesses called police. And now all psychology students learn about the incident as an example of diffusion of responsibility...

On this day in 1982, John Jaszowski of Milwaukee hit 12 consecutive strikes to become the youngest bowler ever to roll a perfect game. John was 11 years old.

On this day in 1990, a blind man robbed a bank in Vallejo, California, then asked the teller to guide him out of the building. She refused, and he was still trying to find his way out when police arrived. Perhaps he should re-think his choice of career...

So, trivia time! What show that's still on the air now debuted on this day in 1983 on CNN?

Want another? What corporation owns Kool-Aid? And why isn't it called heat aid?

Good luck :)

And the answer is...Larry King Live! I'm guessing he looked exactly the same then :)

As for Kool-Aid, it's owned by Phillip Morris. They also own Cheez Whiz, Jell-O, Miller Beer, Marlboro, Oscar Mayer, Post Cereals, Velveeta, Tombstone Pizza, and Maxwell House.
No wonder I'm addicted to Velveeta!!
