TRIVIA TODAY - Wednesday, December 22, 2010
Greetings Infomaniacs,
At the library where I work, we have an incredibly generous
patron who loves the library so much that every Christmas
he brings in boxes of fresh bakery cakes and pies for the
employees. There's usually enough to distribute to the
entire staff, plus, if he knows someone by name, he brings
in a cake or pie specifically for that person! How generous
...and delicious!
Enjoy!

We are little brethren twain,
Arbiters of loss or gain;
Many to our counters run,
Some are made, and some undone.
But people find it to their cost,
Few are made, but numbers lost:
Though we play them tricks forever,
Yet they always hope to win our favor.
What are We?
