TODAYS TRIVIA

Ice Cream Sundaes were created when it 
became illegal to sell ice cream with flavored 
soda on a Sunday in Evanston, Illinois 
during the late 19th century.  Some traders 
got round it by serving it with syrup instead, 
calling it an 'Ice Cream Sunday' and 
eventually replacing the final 'y' with an 'e' to

avoid upsetting religious leaders.

The term "swan song," meaning a final farewell 
action, appearance or pronouncement, derives 
from the belief that a swan sings as it dies.  
 
On those dog days of summer, humans sweat 
through their pores, while dogs sweat through 
the pads of their feet.  
 
Be careful not to anger a hippopotamus; they 
can outrun human beings.
