Useless information - Today is National Doughnut Day

Doughnut Day Trivia:

National Donut Day is celebrated on the first Friday in June? In 1917, Salvation Army female volunteers known as �lassies� prepared thousands of fresh donuts to the homesick soldiers that served in France during World War I. National Donut Day was officially established in 1938 by the Chicago Salvation Army to raise much-needed funds during the Great Depression.

7. A couple of other significant aniversaries for June 6, 2008...

Thirty years ago today, California voters overwhelmingly approved Proposition 13, which put strict caps on property taxes.

Forty years ago today, Robert Francis Kennedy died in Los Angeles, a day after being shot by Sirhan Sirhan.
