Alan Rock's Trivia

Q: On January 11, 1913, the first sedan was unveiled at the National Automobile Show in New York City. Who was the manufacturer?
A: The Hudson Motor Company.

Q: On January 11, 1964, who was the Surgeon General who labeled cigarette smoking the number one cause of lung disease?
A: Luther Terry. Big Tobacco responded calmly and logically by calling the surgeon general a communist and declaring that cigarettes are as American as mom, apple pie, and wheezing. Research has shown that nobody stops smoking for health reasons. Some people do quit, however, when they finally realize that their nose smells like a wet cigar butt.

Q: For all of you TV viewers, what did Marvin Middlemark invent?
A: Rabbit ears.
