That guy's as nutty as a TRIVIA QUIZ!
Today is International Moment of Laughter Day, time to set aside a moment to laugh. Yes, please laugh right now. Ok, thanks.
Today is National Auctioneers Day. At the first auction on this day in 1864, the first item auctioned was a sack of flour at Austin, Nevada.
Today is National Wear Your Pajamas to Work Day, always the day after Income Tax Day. Um, how many people wait until the night before to file these days?
On this day in 1867, Wilbur Wright was born in Millville, Indiana. When it came time to decide in 1903 who would make history’s first airplane flight, Wilbur and brother Orville flipped a coin. Wilbur lost.
On this day in 1940, President Franklin Roosevelt threw the first pitch of the new baseball season, a wild pitch, and broke the camera of Washington Post photographer Irving Schlossenberg.
On this day in 1987, the U.S. Patent Office began accepting patent applications for new animals created by genetic engineering.
On this day in 1993, a Monmouth, Illinois, man told a judge his wife could come back home and cook for him while she was out on bail awaiting trial for trying to poison him.
This has nothing to do with anything, but I thought it was funny:
On this day in 2003, Michael Jordan played his last NBA game with the Washington Wizards, who lost to the Philadelphia 76ers, 107-87.
On this day in 2006, Lance Nesta of Waukesha, Wisconsin, found a fruitcake in his mother's attic his aunts had sent him in the Army in Alaska in 1962. Nesta didn't like fruitcake so he shipped it back home and forgot about it when he left the Army. Still in its original tin, he said the 44-year-old fruitcake hadn't changed at all, fresh as ever. But he still wouldn't eat it.
Okey dokey, folks...according to an 8-year-study published in 1994 by the National Institute for Highway Safety in Canada, side and front two-car accidents were reduced by what simple act? (a) Playing the car radio really loud; (b) driving with both hands on the steering wheel; or (c) driving with headlights on during the daytime?
Good luck :)

I believe that was driving with headlights on in the daytime.
Also, I totally watched that SNL episode with my parents, and I think there was a total generation gap. I was like totally cracking up and both of them were just kind of like "I don't get it..."
I'm going to agree with Kim - again :)
I thought that was pretty funny, but it made me feel like I had just had 8 cups of coffee!
Yup, you've both got it! It's driving with the headlights on. My Saab must have been extremely safe, as there was no way to turn the headlights off!
Kim, you might be right. My parents go to bed at 10pm, so they weren't up to watch this one...
JD, yeah, it does make me a little jittery as well. I hope she becomes a recurring character...justkidding... ;)
