Pennies, Plum Pudding, and Professor Plum: Thursday's Holiday Triple Play

First up: National Lost Penny Day, marking the anniversary of the Lincoln cent's debut back in 1909. Whether you're a "heads up means good luck" believer or a "tails stays on the ground" kind of person, today's the day to appreciate that little copper coin.

We're also celebrating Darwin Day, honoring English biologist Charles Darwin and his groundbreaking work on evolution. Science for the win!

And finally, it's National Plum Pudding Day—a British classic made with dried fruit, spices, breadcrumbs, and eggs. Sounds fancy, tastes festive.

Speaking of plum, weatherman Jerry Steffen cooked up two "loosely related" trivia questions to test your knowledge:
