It’s April 15. 
Today is National “Take a Wild Guess Day.”  Do you have a hunch, speculation, or an intuitive sense of how this day became a holiday?

 

Trivial Fact of the Day: Celery has negative calories! It takes more calories to chew and digest a piece of celery than the celery has in it to begin with.

Interesting Quote of the Day:  “Celery, raw/ Develops the jaw,/ But celery, stewed,/ Is more quietly chewed.” --Ogden Nash (American poet)

Vocabulary Word of the Day:  speculate (verb) – this action word can mean two things: to reflect deeply on a subject or to make a guess based on reasoning but not necessarily solid evidence.  Did you speculate about anything yesterday?
