Folks who live in Florida have a reputation for being weird, wacky, ridiculous, unbalanced, and demented. Wait, that's unfair! Not everyone who lives in Florida is peculiar.
Q: On this day in 1881, James Garfield became the first U.S. president to do what?

Q: On March 3, 1931 what happened to the song "The Star Spangled Banner"?
A: It became the U.S. national anthem, which saved a lot of time at baseball games. Before that, prior to each game, fans had to stand and sing "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall."
