I hear Simon Cowell is a real TRIVIA QUIZ!

Today is National Feed the Ducks Day. (Pigeons don't count).

Today is National German Chocolate Cake Day.

Today is King Kamehameha 1 Day in Hawaii.

On this day in 1972, Hank Aaron tied the National League record for 14 grand-slam home runs in a career.

On this day in 1982, director Steven Spielberg introduced his classic science-fiction film, "E.T., The Extra-Terrestrial."

On this day in 1992, Major-league baseball approved the purchase of the Seattle Mariners by a Japanese group headed by the president of Nintendo.

On this day in 2001, a pet shop owner in Hoogeveen, Netherlands, installed a vending machine to sell live maggots. The crawling creatures quickly became popular bait with local fishermen.

Ok, trivia buffs: On this day in 2002, "American Idol" premiered on Fox. Who was the winner of that first season?


Good luck :)

Indeed, it was Kelly Clarkson!

Was Justin Don'tKnowHisLastName from "From Justin to Kelly" the runner up? or was he the winner of the next season?

You're right Kim, it was Justin with the big curly hair. I think his last name is Guarini or something like that. I also think it's for the best that they gave up on the AI movies after season one. :)
