Scrabble, Cobbler, and Thomas Jefferson Walk Into a Quiz

National Scrabble Day is here, and what better way to honor the occasion than by gathering some friends and breaking out the classic word game? The beloved board game traces its roots back to today's date in 1899, the birthday of the inventor himself. So dust off that box, brush up on your two-letter words, and get ready to argue about whether or not that is a real word.

Speaking of irresistible things, National Peach Cobbler Day is also on the calendar. With its thick, golden crust and bubbling fruit filling, peach cobbler is the kind of dessert that makes you forget what you were doing. Consider this your official excuse to treat yourself.

And rounding out the trio, today marks National Thomas Jefferson Day. The third president of the United States was born on this date in 1743, making Jefferson the key figure in today's pop quiz. Brush up on your history, because Jerry is putting that knowledge to the test.
