Let's make sock puppets from our old TRIVIA QUIZzes!

Today is Buy Some New Socks Day. Go ahead, you’re worth it.

Today is Cesar Chavez Day. In 2000, California approved the creation of a new state holiday to honor Cesar Chavez, founder of the United Farm Workers.
Chavez was born on March 31, 1927, in Yuma, Arizona.

Summer Time begins today in the U.K. The U.S. calls it daylight saving time..

On this day in 1917, the U.S. took possession of the Virgin Islands from Denmark.

On this day in 1943, the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical "Oklahoma!" opened on Broadway.

On this day in 1998, God did not appear live at 10:00 a.m. on Channel 18 as predicted by a Tawanese UFO cult in Garland, Texas. The group had predicted God’s appearance for months.

This video has nothing to do with anything, but I really like this commercial:


Ok, trivia buffs, what became the 10th Canadian province on this day in 1949?

Good luck :)

Yikes, I'm not sure I can name 10 Canadian provinces. But since I got this question wrong on Jeopardy, I'll guess Labrador, in honor of my favorite dog.

And the answer is Newfoundland!

JD, I have found some info that Labrador is actually part of Newfoundland, but it was on Wikipedia so there's no telling if it's true or not.

Kim, good answer! Your knowledge of Canadian history is quite impressive :)

If by "knowledge of Canadian history" you mean "ability to guess random dog breeds" then thank you! :)
