I always thought Ponce de Leon discovered TRIVIA QUIZzes!

Today is the Feast Day of Saint Joan of Arc, the "Maid of Orleans" who was burned at the stake for heresy at age 19 in 1431 but declared innocent 25 years later.

Today is My Bucket’s Got A Hole In It Day, a day for older country music fans to dig out their Hank Williams 78s and try to find something to play them on.

Today is National Lemon Bisque Day. Do you suppose that's sweet or not?

On this day in 1539, Hernando de Soto landed in Florida with nine ships, 632 men, 223 horses, and 13 pigs.

On this day in 1967, daredevil Evel Knievel jumped 16 automobiles in a row in a motorcycle stunt at Ascot Speedway in Gardena, California.

On this day in 2003, TV news anchor Peter Jennings took the U.S. citizenship test and was sworn in, along with 50 other new citizens, at a ceremony in Manhattan. He retained his Canadian citizenship. After working 40 years for ABC News, Jennings died of lung cancer in 2005 at age 67.


Ok, trivia quizzers: You’re a mama rabbit about to deliver. Will you line your new baby’s nest by: (a) gathering feathers in the woods; (b) pulling out your own fur; or (c) pulling out your husband’s fur?

Good luck :)

I'm going to go with C. Also, I sort of forgot the Peter Jennings is dead.

I think Laine's right on this one - pulling out your husband's fur is probably the best answer.

Here's some more random Peter Jennings trivia: 1) He's a high school dropout! 2) He's Canadian!

It's B, pulling out your own fur.

Laine, I don't think the husband stays around long enough for the baby mama to grab his fur! And yeah, I had kind of forgotten as well.

JD, thanks for the random PJ trivia! Who knew he was a high school dropout. Beauty school droput...no graduation for you... Name the musical!
