I've found out that the true meaning of my name is TRIVIA QUIZ!

Today is Act Goofy Day, a day to do silly things just for the fun of it. And this is different from every other day for me...how?

Today is Learn What Your Name Means Day. Yes, what is the ancient origin of the classic name "R-dogg"?

Today is Temperance Day. On March 5, 1623, America's first temperance law was passed. In a proclamation signed by Governor Sir Francis Wyatt and thirty-two members of the Virginia colonial legislature, Virginia prohibited public intoxication under penalty of a fine. Virginia was later joined by other colonies in taking measures to prohibit the use of alcohol.

Today is National Cheese Doodle Day.


On this day in 1977, Jimmy Carter became the first president to host a radio talk show when he took questions from 42 listeners in 26 states on Ask President Carter. Walter Cronkite co-hosted the program.

On this day in 1984, the Los Angeles Express signed Brigham Young quarterback Steve Young for $42-million. When the USFL folded less than a year later it paid Young a guaranteed $35-million. The resulting long-term annuity will pay Steve until 2027.

On this day in 1996, Township Trustees in Milan, Ohio, agreed to pay the electric bill at the Thomas Edison Museum, so the power company wouldn’t have to turn off the lights at the birthplace of the man who invented the light bulb.

Ok, folks, here's your daily dose of trivia: On this day in 1912, what food product was born at the National Biscuit Company in New York? Since then, 62 billion of them have been consumed, which is enough to stack and reach the moon and back five times!

Good luck :)
