Today's Trivia
Remembering Anne FrankActing on tip from a Dutch informer, the Nazi Gestapo captures 15-year-old Jewish diarist Anne Frank and her family in a sealed-off area of an Amsterdam warehouse on this day in 1944. The Franks had taken shelter there in 1942 out of fear of deportation to a Nazi concentration camp. They occupied the small space with another Jewish family and a single Jewish man, and were aided by Christian friends, who brought them food and supplies. Anne spent much of her time in the "secret annex" working on her diary. The diary survived the war, overlooked by the Gestapo that discovered the hiding place, but Anne and nearly all of the others perished in the Nazi death camps.
A Jazz Legend Legendary jazz trumpeter and singer Louis Armstrong is born on this day in New Orleans. Although Armstrong himself often cited his birthday as July 4, 1900, his baptismal records show that he was born August 4, 1901, to teenage parents who separated after his birth. Armstrong's innovative music established the instrumental solo as the backbone of jazz. Among his many hits were "Blueberry Hill" and "What a Wonderful World." Armstrong died in his sleep in 1971 after suffering heart problems and other health complaints for many years.

Ring The BellPassing an office building late one night, a young boy saw a sign that said, "Press bell for night watchman."
He did so, and after several minutes he heard the watchman clomping down the stairs.
The old, uniformed man proceeded to unlock first one gate, then another, shut down the alarm system, and finally made his way through the revolving door.
"Well," he snarled at the kid, "what do you want?"
"I just wanted to know why you can't ring it for yourself...?"
An English LessonA linguistics professor was lecturing to his class one day.
"In English," he said, "A double negative forms a positive."
"In some languages, though," he continued, "such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative. However, there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative."
At that time, a voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right..."
