TRIVIA TODAY - Monday, November 21, 2011

Greetings Infomaniacs,

Sometimes I really miss working in the GopherCentral office. It was always so entertaining. Although I can't physically be in the office, I can watch my old co-workers' goofy antics on evtv1.com.

I have to share this video with you of Clean Laffs Joe and Steve (editor of the Daily Groaner) playing superheroes who have come to tell you about pulsetv.com's Marvel comics limited edition goodies for sale. This is the type of behavior that is typical in the office everyday...never a dull moment!

Enjoy!
Melissa

Apples are a member of the rose family, along with pears, peaches, plums and cherries.

Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, Gala and Fuji are the five most commonly consumed apples in the U.S.

The world's largest apple peel was created by Kathy Wafler Madison on October 16, 1976, in Rochester, NY and was 172 feet, 4 inches long. (She was 16 years old at the time and grew up to be a sales manager for an apple tree nursery.)

I won't be ridden in a desert or on a mountainside.
Each time the ride is different - no two are ever the same.
Some are wild and treacherous and some are very tame.
What am I?
