A cake should be made with oil, not TRIVIA QUIZ!

Today is National Applesauce Cake Day.

Today is Bonza Bottler Day, when the number of the day is the same as the number of the month: 6-6. It's the idea of Gail Berger, who wanted an excuse for a party at least once a month.

Today is Memorial Day in South Korea, National Cow Day in Norway, and Flag Day in Sweden.

On this day in 1872, Susan B. Anthony led a group of women to register and vote in a Rochester, New York, election. She was arrested, tried, and sentenced to pay a fine. She refused to pay and was released by a judge who was afraid she'd appeal to a higher court.

On this day in 1973, the world's tallest totem pole, 173 feet, was raised at Alert Bay, British Columbia.


On this day in 2001, New Zealand actor Jeff Knight stole the show at Christchurch's Court Theater by dashing off to witness the birth of his daughter in between scenes of Shakespeare's Othello -- and returned in time to end the play. Soon after the play began, Knight got word his wife Lisa had gone into labor. After the speedy birth of his third child, both mom and daughter were doing great, so his wife told him to get back to the theater.

How about some movie trivia? In the 1954 movie "Rear Window," as Jimmy Stewart sits in a wheelchair with his leg in a cast while arguing with Grace Kelly, does: (a) his cast switch legs; (b) his wheelchair change colors; or (c) her earrings switch stones?

Good luck :)

I believe his cast switches legs, but I'm not sure
