TRIVIA TODAY - Friday, March 18, 2016

Greetings Infomaniacs,

Congratulations to "Glenn Stockwell" who won this week's
"Mind Scrambler". Here was the scrambler:

A petshop owner had a parrot with a sign on its cage that said "Parrot repeats everything it hears". Davey bought the parrot and for two weeks he spoke to it and it didn't say a word. He returned the parrot but the shopkeeper said he never lied about the parrot.

How can this be?

ANSWER: The parrot was deaf.

Enjoy!
Melissa
