Space...the final TRIVIA QUIZ!
POST NUMBER 300! w00t!
Today is Tweed Day, a day to consider the cost of political corruption. Always on the birth date of William March Tweed, the New York City political boss whose "Tweed Ring" stole millions from the city in the mid 1800s.
Today is American Circus Day.
Today is National Chocolate Mousse Day. Yum!
On this day in 1965, Sam the Sham and the Pharaoh’s MGM single "Wooly Bully" entered the Billboard pop chart. It would remain there for 18 weeks and peak at #2.
On this day in 1969, the TV show "Star Trek" was canceled. The best of its three TV seasons was 1966 when the show reached as high as #62 in the ratings.
On this day in 1996, the FBI raided a Montana cabin and arrested former college professor Theodore Kaczynski, accusing him of being the Unabomber whose mail bombs had killed three people and injured 23 more since the 1970s.
On this day in 2003, an Oklahoma couple finally got married after 77 years of living together. Zyness O'Haver, 95, and Sallie Warren, 94, decided to make it official in a ceremony at the Oklahoma County courthouse. When the judge asked, "Do you?" Sallie responded, "I sure do!"
Trivia, you say? OK, what magazine was published for the first time on this day back in 1953? The first cover had Desi Arnaz IV (Desi Jr.). The headline called him "Lucy's $50-million Baby."
Good luck :)

I'll guess Life magazine. Does that even still exist?
I'll go for "People."
Wow, 300 posts - congrats! I wonder how many of them have mentioned dessert :)
Both good guesses, and I'll bet Desi was on the cover of those magazines as well. The answer is TV Guide!
Laine, that's a good question, and the answer is yes:

JD, good guess, but People didn't debut until 1974 with a picture of Mia Farrow on the cover. As for the dessert, I'd say at least half ;)
