SUMMARY:National Trivia Day
DESCRIPTION:What National Day on January 4th celebrates those who accumulate and hoard tidbits of useless trivia? National Trivia Day\, of course! \n\n\n \n\n\n\n#NationalTriviaDay\n\n\n\nThe holiday recognizes the collectors of unconnected\, irrelevant data\, facts\, history\, and quotes each year. They are the ones who usually proffer these sometimes astounding bits of history when friends and family least expect it. \nIn ancient times\, the term “trivia” was appropriated to mean something very new. \nNostalgic college students in the 1960s began to informally trade questions and answers about the popular culture of their youth. After writing trivia columns\, Columbia University students Ed Goodgold and Dan Carlinsky created the earliest inter-collegiate quiz bowls. They tested culturally (and emotionally) significant yet virtually useless information. The students dubbed the tests trivia contests. TThey later published Trivia (Dell\, 1966)\, the first book treating trivia in the revolutionary new sense. This book also achieved a ranking on the New York Times bestseller list. \n\nOver time\, the word “trivia” has come to refer to obscure and arcane bits of dry knowledge. It also refers to nostalgic remembrances of pop culture.\nIn North America\, Trivial Pursuit peaked in 1984\, when consumers bought over 20 million games.\nSteven Point\, Wisconsin\, holds the largest current trivia contest at the University of  Wisconsin-Stevens Point’s college radio station WWSP 89.9 FM. During the April 2013 event\, the university hosted the 44th annual contest. Typically\, 400 teams participate\, ranging from 1 to 150 players. The competition is open to anyone. It spans 54 hours over a weekend with eight questions each hour.\nThe first season of the popular television trivia show Jeopardy! premiered on March 30\, 1964.\n\n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVED NATIONAL TRIVIA DAY\nAre you into trivia? Challenge someone to a trivia contest\, attend a trivia night\, or host one at home. Show off your trivia savvy. While you’re at it\, find out how much you know about the National Days. See if you can answer these questions. Some of them\, we aren’t even sure of the answers.

SUMMARY:National Spaghetti Day
DESCRIPTION:National Spaghetti Day on January 4th offers an opportunity to pick your sauce and add it to that long\, thin cylindrical pasta of Italian and Sicilian origin. Usually made from semolina flour\, this pasta has been a worldwide favorite for ages and loved by millions. \n\n\n \n\n\n\n#NationalSpaghettiDay\n\n\n\nThere are various pasta dishes based on spaghetti\, and the sauce determines most of them. Some examples include spaghetti ala Carbonara\, garlic and oil\, tomato sauce\, meat sauce\, bolognese\, Alfredo sauce\, clam sauce\, or other sauces. In addition\, we traditionally serve spaghetti dishes topped with grated hard cheeses such as Pecorino Romano\, Parmesan\, and Grana Padano. \nThe word spaghetti is plural for the Italian word spaghetto\, which is a diminutive of spago\, meaning “thin  string” or “twine.” \n\n\n\n\nAmerican restaurants offered spaghetti around the end of the 19th century as Spaghetti Italienne (which is believed to have consisted of noodles cooked past al dente and a mild tomato sauce flavored with easily found spices and vegetables such as cloves\, bay leaves\, and garlic). Decades later\, cooks added oregano and basil to many recipes. \nSpaghetti Origins\nThere is a significant debate on the origin of spaghetti. However\, we do know that we’ve been consuming pasta for many\, many years. There are records in the Jerusalem Talmud of itrium\, a kind of boiled dough commonly available in Palestine from the 3rd to 5th centuries AD. A 9th-century Arab dictionary describes itriyyaas as string-like shapes made of semolina and dried before cooking. A 1154 writing for the Norman King of Sicily\, mentions itriyya as being manufactured and exported from Norman Sicily. Dried pasta became popular in the 14th and 15th centuries due to its easy storage. People stored the dried pasta in ships when exploring the New World. A century later\, pasta was present around the globe during the voyages of discovery. (Wikipedia) \n\n\n \nOn Top of Spaghetti\nIn March of 2009\, the world record for the largest bowl of spaghetti was set and then reset in March of 2010 when a Garden Grove California Buca di Beppo restaurant successfully filled a swimming pool with more than 13\,780 pounds of pasta. \nSung to the tune of “On Top of Old Smoky\,” the fun children’s song\, “On Top of Spaghetti\,” was written and originally sung by folk singer Tom Glazer with the Do-Re-Mi Children’s Chorus in 1963. \n“On top of spaghetti\,\nAll covered with cheese\,\nI lost my poor meatball\,\nWhen somebody sneezed. \nIt rolled off the table\,\nAnd on to the floor\,\nAnd then my poor meatball\,\nRolled out of the door.” \nCOOK\, EAT\, CELEBRATE\nMake your favorite spaghetti dish\, and be sure to make enough to share. Of course\, you can always invite friends to join you at your favorite Italian restaurant and split a plate. If you do\, be sure to tag the restaurant and use #NationalSpaghettiDay to post on social media. \nSource Link.
