I guess Psycho would be more in line with the day after Mother's TRIVIA QUIZ!

Today is Psycho Day, marking the premier of the classic movie "Psycho" on this date in 1960.


Today is National Fudge Day. Oh, fudge! Only, I didn't say fudge...

Today is Ladies Day, marking the first time ladies were admitted free to a major-league baseball game on this date in 1883. Their hosts were the New York Giants.

Today is Vinegar Day. A whole day for vinegar, really???

On this day in 1891, the George A. Hormel & Company was founded in Austin, Minnesota. In 1937 it introduced Spam, now the world’s biggest selling canned meat product.

On this day in 1903, a U.S. patent was issued for a soft drink formula called Pepsi-Cola.

On this day in 1995, the movie "Batman Forever" opened at theaters through the U.S. Americans spent $20-million on tickets the first day.

On this day in 1998, a 40-year-old Florida woman gave birth to a son in the first-ever live birth on the Internet before an audience estimated by a cable health network at two million people.

And some trivia: Do most U.S. adults consider the most important product introduced during the last century to be: (a) the television; (b) the computer; or (c) the telephone?

Good luck :)

I'm going to go with computer.

"The F DASH DASH DASH word."

Also, have I ever commended you for your ability to continuously come up with creative post titles involving the word "trivia quiz?"

Yup, it's the computer!

Heh, Jen, I knew you'd get that reference!! And thanks, although my basic formula is just to replace some word with "trivia quiz." Kind of like how the Smurfs say "smurf" all the time :)

Kim, awesome! Maybe you, Jen, and I should get together and try to do the whole movie!
