Q: America's first unemployment office opened on this day in 1868 in what state?
A: California. In those days, people who sat around doing nothing while others worked were called idlers. Today they're called executives.
Q: Which state has the most expensive gas in America?
A: California. Carpooling is one way to save gas, but it's never been popular in L.A. You could wind up sitting in a car with someone whose aura clashes with your aura.
Q: On this day in 1964, a cow in Russia gave birth to the most calves ever born at one time. How many were there?
A: Seven calves. The cow's owner was a poor farmer who dreamed of having a large herd; and with this multiple birth, he was finally in the chips -- the cow chips.
Q: What is the fastest speed at which a dog has been timed?
A: 41.72 miles per hour, a record set by an Australian greyhound on this day in 1968. The dog used a special training method to increase his speed. He was able to run at 41 miles per hour by chasing a fire hydrant moving at 42 mph.
