Q: On Aug. 4, 1693 Dom Perignon invented what?
A: Champagne. What would champagne be like without bubbles? It would be like prunes without the wrinkles. Thank goodness. Otherwise, Lawrence Welk would have had to play beer music.
Q: Congress enacted something special for corporations on this day in 1909. What was it?
A: The Corporate Income Tax. That wasn't half as exciting as the next day--when they enacted the corporate loophole.
Q: What branch of our armed forces was founded on Aug. 4, 1790?
A: The U.S. Coast Guard. The Coast Guard is the only branch of the armed forces with a perfect record. In over 200 years we haven't lost a coast.
Q: Every night, how many beds did Benjamin Franklin sleep in?
A: Four beds. Ben believed a warm bed would sap his strength, so when a bed became too warm, he'd switch to a cold one.
