Important Possum Funeral Planning Information

Trivia Today

Today is National Noisy Munching Day, a day to annoy others by eating ice, pickles, chips, anything crunchy and loud.

Today is "You Bet Your Life" Day. The popular TV game show debuted on this date in 1950 after three years on radio. With host Groucho Marx, the TV show lasted 11 years. Revival attempts with Buddy Hacket in 1980 and Bill Cosby in 1992 were short-lived.

My dad would rather watch Groucho Marx than wrestling. Though, personally, I thought Duke Keomuka was funnier.

This is National Possum Week. Possums are smarter than dogs, especially at rolling over and playing dead. In fact, a possum is so good at playing dead, you never want to plan his funeral until several days after he rolls over.

Pablo Picasso was born on this day in 1881. I love Picasso's portraits. The subjects always have eight eyes, or four mouths, or noses where their ears should be. It's a good thing he was a painter and not a plastic surgeon.
