Alan Rock's Trivia

On April 3, 1860, the famous "Pony Express" mail service started between two U.S. cities. Can you name either or both of the cities? A: St. Joseph, Missouri and Sacramento, California. Back then it took brave men riding through rough terrain and hostile territory over a week to deliver the mail. Today, with all the high-tech postal equipment, they can do it in about ten days.

On April 3, 1960, The Paul Winchell Show last aired on ABC-TV. The ventriloquist's dummy partner's name was Jerry Mahoney. Later, Winchell invented something, do you know what it is? A: History's first artificial heart.
