Are You on Top of Your Turkey Trivia?
Today's the big day, and hopefully you've done all the shopping, prepping, and planning ahead that you can. Since you might be spending a lot of time in the kitchen, I suggest you take a short break to talk some turkey.
Because Thanksgiving's the biggest food holiday, I was able to find plenty of interesting facts out there about the shining star of the feast: the big ol' bird.
How Foodie Are You?
I had such a fabulous time putting together my last food trivia quiz that I decided to do another one.
It's jam packed with fun facts from the trivia game Foodie Fight. What are you waiting for?
Website of the Day: Learn Something New Every Day
I've already confessed my love for mood-boosting sites and sites that deliver daily doses of awesomeness, so it's natural that I'm loving this site from the UK, Learn Something Every Day.
Each day features a new fun fact illustrated on a bright background. For example: "The film Titanic cost more than the Titanic itself," and, "Penguins are able to jump two meters high."
Ashley, Nikki and Kellan Do Their New Moon Work Too
Nikki Reed, Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz were spread out yesterday on the New Moon promotional trail. Nikki Reed wore a sexy short dress to stop by and chat with Alexa Chung on her show while Ashley Greene popped by Regis and Kelly where Kristen Stewart also made an appearance. Kellan was still hanging out in LA, but he was headed to NYC to join the rest of the cast before tomorrow's big release!
Know Your Labor Day Food Factoids?
Next Monday, Sept. 7, professionals everywhere will take advantage of Labor Day to play hooky, travel, and, of course, eat. Although the holiday originated out of labor disputes, the first Monday in September has become synonymous with many things — not the least of which is a national celebration of food.

Wikipedia Recruiting Community Managers to Monitor Content
Although I reference Wiki on a regular basis for fun facts and trivia, I know that anyone can contribute information, which leaves me at a high risk of quoting inaccuracies. But yesterday, Wikipedia announced that they will be rounding up trusted users to create a pool of volunteer community managers, who will approve data before it's published.
But Wiki won't be covering all its bases — the rule will only apply to submissions on living people.
