What is the deal with TRIVIA QUIZzes!
Today is Worminator Day, marking the birth of Dennis Rodman in Trenton, New Jersey, on this date in 1961. He was 5-feet-9 in high school, too short to make the basketball team.
Today is National Apple Pie Day. How Amurican!
Today is Table Knife Appreciation Day. Cardinal Richelieu invented the utensil on this date in 1639.
On this day in 1918, the first U.S. airmail stamps, featuring a picture of an airplane, were introduced. On some of the stamps, the airplane was printed upside-down, making them collector's items.
On this day in 1950, the Diner’s Club issued its first credit cards.
On this day in 1982, comedian Jerry Seinfeld made his first appearance with TV's David Letterman.
On this day in 2003, a thousand-pound bear wandered out of the woods near a police station in Belarus while officers were outside. When police took cover in their car, the bear sat on top of the car for an hour before ambling into the police station and eating their lunch. The offices escaped unharmed after the bear finally went back into the woods.
And for the trivia fans in the audience, singer-guitarist Darius Rucker turns 42 today. By what name is he better known?
Good luck :)

I think he's Hootie, of Blowfish fame.
Silly bear! If someone had just made him ham-and-cheese on a bagel, there would have been no need for him to sit on the police car for an hour!
Jon beat me too it. I also think he's Hootie. Are they still around?
Yup, he's Hootie all right! No word on the names of the other blowfish...
JD, I agree: aged ham and cheese on a bagel is the lunch of choice for most intelligent creatures :)
Kim, oh but they are! Check them out at Hootie!
