TRIVIA TODAY - Wednesday, February 17, 2010
Greetings Infomaniacs,
Yesterday was the celebration of Mardi Gras, which in French
means "Fat Tuesday." For me it is always a day to indulge
before Lent begins. I give up soda every year, and it is
tough because I do enjoy my pop. However, I know I can do
without it and be healthier for it!
Enjoy!

TODAY'S MYSTERY QUOTE
QUOTE: "On with the dance! let joy be unconfined;
No sleep till morn, when Youth and Pleasure meet
To chase the glowing hours with flying feet."
HINT: (1788-1824), British poet and a leading figure in
Romanticism.
***********************************************************
RANDOM TIDBITS
A French-Canadian explorer, Jean Baptiste Le Moyne Sieur de
Bienville, landed on a plot of ground 60 miles directly
south of New Orleans in 1699 and called it "Pointe due Mardi
Gras." He also established "Fort Louis de la Louisiane"
(which is now Mobile) in 1702. In 1703, the tiny settlement
of Fort Louis de la Mobile celebrated the very first Mardi
Gras.
***
In 1704, Mobile established a secret society (Masque de la
Mobile) ... similar to those who form our current Mardi
Gras Krewes. It lasted until 1709. In 1710, the "Boeuf Graf
Society" was formed and paraded from 1711 through 1861.
The procession was held with a huge bull's head pushed
alone on wheels by 16 men. This occurred on Fat Tuesday.
***
The earliest reference to Mardi Gras "Carnival" appears in
a 1781 report to the Spanish colonial governing body. That
year, the Perseverance Benevolent & Mutual Aid Association
is the first of hundreds of clubs and carnival organizations
formed in New Orleans.

***********************************************************
In 1871, Mardi Gras's second "Krewe" is formed, the Twelfth
Night Reveler's, with the first account of Mardi Gras
"throws."
***
It was in 1872 that a group of businessmen invented a King
of Carnival -- Rex -- to parade in the first daytime parade.
They introduced the Mardi Gras colors of purple, green and
gold; the Mardi Gras song, and the Mardi Gras flag.
***
In 1873, the first floats were constructed entirely in New
Orleans instead of France. In 1875, Governor Warmoth of
Louisiana signs the "Mardi Gras Act" making it a legal
holiday in Louisiana, which is still is.
