Read my lips: no new TRIVIA QUIZzes!

Today is National Chinese Almond Cookie Day. Hm, that sounds specific, and yet yummy!

Today is Jenkins' Ear Day, marking the date in 1731 when Spaniards boarded the British ship Rebecca off Jamaica and, among other atrocities, cut off the ear of mariner Robert Jenkins. Seven years later Jenkins appeared carrying his ear before a committee of the House of Commons. As a result, the British declared war on Spain. The 4-year conflict is still known as the War of Jenkins' Ear.

On this day in 1913, on opening day at Ebbets Field, new home of the Brooklyn Dodgers, fans had to wait an hour to get in because nobody brought the key. Then there was no flag to salute for The National Anthem. Then the Dodgers lost to Philadelphia 1-0.

On this day in 1992, U.S. President George Bush fell suddenly ill at a state dinner in Japan. He became pale, slumped in his chair, and threw up on the Japanese Prime Minister.

On this day in 1993, the Colorado Rockies set a National League baseball record by drawing 80,227 fans to their first game.

On this day in 1994, actress Judy Geeson was playing a chain-smoker in the play Faith Healer at a New Haven, Connecticut, theater, when a man in the audience stood up and said, "You’re gonna kill yourself smoking that much!" Then he yelled as he walked out, "Smoking is prohibited in this theater anyway!"

On this day in 1998, New Zealand’s conservation minister proposed firing the Easter Bunny and replacing him with the Easter Kiwi. Nick Smith said the bunny was one of New Zealand’s major pests and that the kiwi would be better for the environment and for kids.


Ok, trivia fans...what country has the most redheads born each year, making the country 11 percent carrot tops? (I know, carrot tops are green, it's just an expression!)

Good luck :)
