Alan Rock's Trivia Teasers

Q: August 24, 2006 was an interesting day in outer space. Why?

A: Experts declared Pluto is not really a planet.

Q: Vesuvius erupted on August 24, 79 AD and destroyed Pompeoo and what other city?

A: Herculaneum. The Italian Volcano Service had issued a severe lava warning, but it was a windy day and nobody could read the smoke signals. It happened so fast the town merchants didn't even have time for a going-out-of-business sale.
