I got a couple of guesses on the question from yesterday.(I'm hungry. Can you guess what I want to eat? It is 5 letters, starts with P, and the 3rd and 4th letters are the same. If you know what it is, post a comment.) The answer is........Pizza. Jane got the answer right. Penny, close but I don't eat putty. Not saying that I haven't, but I don't anymore.

Have you ever wanted to know the true history of Halloween? Not just what they preach about but the truth? Well, click here.

Star dust found deep beneath the Pacific Ocean has led German scientists to speculate that a supernova explosion 3 million years ago might possibly have helped bring about human evolution. Maybe Darwin was right. Who thinks Darwins theory goes against Christianity? And for the tougher question. Has anyone out there read Darwins Theory? I have and it's very interesting. Most of you say Darwin blah blah blah without ever reading a single word of his works. Todays trivia question is.... What is Darwins first name?

Darwin's first name was Charles, his middle name was Robert. But to me, he was always "C.R." You know, like R.C. Cola, only backward. And without the Cola. Anyway, sometimes I called him "Big C," and he seemed to like that. Other times it was "Sweet Thang" or just plain "Lover." But whatever you call him, don't call him late to dinner.
