The Love Boat soon will be making another TRIVIA QUIZ!
Today is Toothbrush Appreciation Day, a day to wonder how life would taste without your toothbrush.
Today is Daffy Duck Day. Daffy appeared in his first cartoon, "Porky's Duck Hunt," on April 17, 1937. He didn't get his name until he appeared in the 1938 short, "Daffy Duck and Egghead." In 1999, the U.S. Postal Service issued a new Daffy Duck stamp on his birthday. In other duck musings, anybody else creeped out by the fact that Donald Duck never wore pants?
Today is Blah Blah Blah Day, a day to stop smoking, take out the trash, lose weight, empty the cat litter, get a job, quit a job, or whatever.
On this day in 1810, Lewis Norton of Troy, Pennsylvania, patented Pineapple Cheese. Ok, that's a bit gross. What is wrong with the people in Pennsylvania?
On this day in 1950, the wrestling program at Hollywood Stadium was canceled when ten of the wrestlers refused to perform on a televised event. The wrestlers said televising matches would hurt paid attendance. Also, the concession stands were out of pineapple cheese.
On this day in 1953, facing pitcher Chuck Stobbs, Mickey Mantle hit major-league baseball's longest regular season home run at Griffith Stadium in Washington, D.C.—565 feet. The ball eventually was found in the backyard of a home a full block away from the stadium. His longest homer came two years to the day after Mantle's major league debut. (A minor leaguer, "Dizzy" Carlyle, hit a 618-foot homer in 1929 at Emeryville, California.)
On this day in 1964, the FBI lab reported that it could not determine the lyrics on the Kingmen's recording "Louie Louie."
On this day in 1985, the U.S. Postal Service unveiled its new 22-cent "Love" stamp. Showing the set of TV’s The Love Boat as a backdrop, the stamp became one of the postal service’s biggest sellers.
A couple of questions today: On this day in 1964, what car did Ford Motor Company introduce at the New York World's Fair?
Ready for another? What's the only cat that can't retract its claws?
Good luck :)

I'm going to guess the mustang and the bobcat. Although if we're basing it on the look of my arms, Gatsby is the only cat who can't retract his claws :)
Well, I'm going to have start answering earlier in the day, because I don't want to just steal Kim's answers. I'll guess the Taurus and the tiger.
Does the World's Fair still exist? If it ever comes back to Seattle, maybe we can build another giant tower next to the Space Needle :)
The mustang was Ford's car announcment, and the cheetah is the only cat that can't retract its claws!
Kim, I think Gatsby's non-retracting claws are more of a choice than a biological imperative :)
JD, I thought the same thing about the World's Fair. If they were to have another one in Seattle and we built a second tower, we'd call them the space antennae or something!
