TRIVIA TODAY - Monday, March 22, 2010
Greetings Infomaniacs,
I went shopping over the weekend, and as soon as I walked
into Kohls I saw several racks of my least favorite clothing
item - the dreaded bathing suit. Although it makes me happy
to know that summer is getting closer, trying on unflattering
swimwear is just not appealing!
Enjoy!

In the late 1800s, the first bathing suits appeared and
consisted of padded bloomer pants made from wool or flannel,
