Let the sun shine, let the sun TRIVIA QUIZ!
Today is National Black Forest Cake Day.
Today is National Something On A Stick Day, a day to enjoy anything on a stick. Oddly enough, this is quite a few things: corn dogs, popsicles, candy apples...
Today is Hair Day. The controversial rock musical moved to Broadway on this date in 1968. Many felt the songs "Aquarius," "Hair," and "Let the Sunshine In" defined those who opposed the "Establishment" and the Vietnam War. And what is it when you see a mediocre performance of this musical? A Bad Hair Day!
On this day in 1881, P.T. Barnum and James Bailey merged their circuses to form "The Greatest Show on Earth."
On this day in 1979, America's worst commercial nuclear accident occurred inside at the Three Mile Island plant near Middletown, Pennsylvania.
On this day in 1984, in the middle of the night Robert Irsay moved the Baltimore Colts football team to Indianapolis. Does this not sound like a theft on "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?"
On this day in 1998, the #1 song was "Gittin’ Jiggy Wit It" by Will Smith. Na na na na ne na na...
On this day in 2002, Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong's cornet was added to the National Museum of American History, one of the Smithsonian museums in Washington, D.C.
So, it's time for some traveling trivia: you've just arrived in China after a long flight and you head to a local restaurant. "Bite the wax tadpole, please!", you say. What have you just ordered?
Good luck :)

I have absolutely no idea...but I will use this opportunity to make a couple guesses.
Could it be a cold beer or string beans?
How about frog legs? Though I think Jodi's answers sound better ... there are probably lots of things on Chinese menus that I wouldn't eat!
Both good guesses, but it's actually Coca-Cola!
Jodi, I'm sure both cold beer and some string beans would sound good right after getting to China, but maybe not together :)
JD, frog legs actually makes a lot of sense! I have a feeling you'd probably drink a glass of Coke, though...
