Things go better with Coca-TRIVIA QUIZ

Today is National Contemplate Your Vicissitudes Day. Yeah, so get right on that...

Today is National Butterfly Day.

Today is Sierra Club Day. The environmental group was founded on this date in 1892.

On this day in 1985, Seattle retiree Gay Mullins founded The Old Cola Drinkers of America, a group determined to bring back the original Coca-Cola. Within two months Coke announced Classic Coke, to be sold in addition to it’s New Coke.


On this day in 1996, New York created a new crime, "pre-meditated arbicide," the willful mistreatment or destruction of trees. Offenders could face a fine of up to $15,000 or a year in prison.

On this day in 2002, John and Margaret Majerczyk of Floyd, Iowa, revealed they had a pet buzzard. Buzz sat on a window box each morning waiting for them to come out, then followed them everywhere. Buzz really liked hamburger.

So, trivia buffs, on this day in 1954, what words did President Eisenhower add to the US Pledge of Allegiance?

Good luck :)

I'm going to go with "indivisible", since that's the only word that's by itself. Also, what is a pet buzzard?

I think that was "under God". If you watch the movie The Bells of St Mary's, they say it without them! At a Catholic school, no less!

Looking back, I clearly misread the question. I thought you said what word, not what words! I'm going to defer to Kim's answer on this one, since she can read.

And you're right! It's "under God"! I had no idea that was actually added later.

Laine, "indivisible" is not a bad guess: I've always thought that the cadence of the POA does make that part seem awfully strange.

Kim, you'd think the Catholics would have added it themselves long before the US government! :)
