It's National Pie Day, distinct from Pi Day on March 14th, and the first pie recipe dates back to the Romans, featuring a rye-crusted goat cheese and honey pie. A truly "sweet" slice of history, right?

In 1849, Elizabeth Blackwell made history by becoming the first woman to earn a medical degree in the U.S., thanks to an unexpected acceptance to medical school. Talk about a "doctor-ordered" twist of fate!

Celebrating a birthday today is the iconic John Hancock, born in 1737, whose signature on the Declaration of Independence became synonymous with signing your name. Leaving his "mark" on history indeed!

On this day in 1556, the deadliest earthquake in history hit Shaanxi, China, reshaping the area and forming new lakes.

It's also National Handwriting Day, highlighting the importance of legible writing, especially in the medical field to avoid prescription errors due to poor handwriting.

And in entertainment history, the movie "The Wedding Planner" claimed the spotlight on January 23rd, 2001, while Madonna's "Like a Virgin" topped the charts on January 23rd, 1985.

National Blonde Brownie Day is here, celebrating those golden-colored cousins of chocolate brownies! Fun fact: blondies were actually invented before regular brownies, earning them a spot in the dessert spotlight with their light color.

In tech history, on this day in 1984, the Apple Macintosh computer made its debut with a mere 128K of memory – less than a single photo on today's phones! It was a small "byte" of what was to come in technology.

Celebrating a birthday today is the legendary D.J. Jazzy Jeff, born in 1965. Did you know he started honing his skills on his mother's record player at just 10 years old? Talk about starting the "groove" early and turning passion into a successful career!

Back in 1927, the first long-distance TV transmission demonstration took place, from London to Glasgow. Despite the small postage stamp-sized picture, it marked a significant milestone in entertainment history.

And let's add some spice to the mix – it's also National Hot Sauce Day! The world's hottest hot sauce registers a whopping 9 million Scoville units!

Lastly, on January 22nd in the past, the movie "It Should Happen to You" hit the screens in 1954, while the catchy tune "The Twist" by Chubby Checker ruled the charts in 1962.

Have YOU heard?

It's National Granola Bar Day! Granola, invented in 1863 by James Caleb Jackson, has certainly come a long way from its tough beginnings. Talk about a crunchy evolution!

In literary history, on this day in 1789, the first American novel, "The Power of Sympathy" by William Hill Brown, made its mark. This groundbreaking novel was inspired by a real scandal, making it a true "page-turner" of its time.

Happy birthday to the legendary golfer Jack Nicklaus, who turns 84 today! Despite being known as the "Golden Bear," he has a surprising fear of bees. Quite the unexpected twist for a golfing icon!

Switching gears to technology, in 1954, the USS Nautilus, the first nuclear-powered submarine, set sail. Its name, a nod to Captain Nemo's vessel from "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea," adds a touch of literary depth to its legacy.

And let's not forget that today is also National Bird Day! Did you know that a bird's eye occupies half of its head space, a stark contrast to human eyes? Talk about a unique perspective on the world!

Wrapping up with some nostalgic vibes, on January 21st, 1999, the #1 movie was "She's All That," while in 1987, the #1 song was "Shake You Down" by Gregory Abbott.

Did you know it's National Cheese Lovers Day? The average American consumes about 40 pounds of cheese annually – quite a "cheesy" feat! And speaking of cheese, ever heard about the world's largest cheese board with over 4,400 pounds of cheese? Now that's a "gouda" time!

In history, on this day in 1865, L.A. Thompson patented the first roller coaster, albeit cruising at a modest 6 miles per hour. Quite the "roller coaster-er," right? Imagine the thrill for those early riders!

Celebrating birthdays, today marks the birth of DeForest Kelley, known as Dr. McCoy from Star Trek, born in 1920. From cowboy roles to space doctor, his journey is truly out of this world!

Shifting gears to politics, in 1937, Franklin D. Roosevelt became the first president inaugurated in January, a significant "time-ing" change in presidential history!

Today Donald Trump becomes the 47th US President and the 15th President to be inaugurated since that day 87 years ago.

Let's not forget it's Penguin Awareness Day! Did you know these tuxedo-wearing birds can zoom through water at speeds up to 22 miles per hour? Now that's some "suite" speed!

And for a trip down memory lane, on January 20th, 1984, the #1 movie was "Terms of Endearment," while the #1 song was "Say Say Say" by Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson.

Today is National Hot Buttered Rum Day! Now that's something to get "steamed" up about! Did you know this toasty drink was a Colonial American favorite? The Pilgrims even brought rum to the New World because they thought it would help prevent scurvy. Talk about a "spirit-ed" approach to healthcare!

And speaking of spirits being lifted, on this day in 1953, the Chevrolet Corvette was unveiled at the General Motors Motorama! The first models only came in Polo White with red interiors. I guess you could say they really "car-ved" out their own style! The price tag? A whopping $3,498!

Birthday alert! The legendary Betty White would have turned 102 today! Here's something that'll make you giggle - her first job in entertainment was playing a phone operator... but she didn't even own a phone! Talk about "dialing" up the irony! She held the record for the longest TV career of any entertainer - now that's what I call "golden," girl!

And here's something to "kid" about - it's Kid Inventors' Day! Celebrating young inventors like Frank Epperson, who accidentally invented the Popsicle at age 11 by leaving a drink with a stirring stick outside on a cold night. Talk about a "cool" discovery!

⏰ Timestamps:

Today is National Nothing Day! That's right, a day created in 1973 to celebrate... absolutely nothing! Talk about a "void" in the calendar! But here's something - by celebrating Nothing Day, aren't we actually celebrating something? That's deep enough to make your brain hurt, isn't it? I guess you could say it's a "nothing burger" with everything on it!

Want to hear something that'll really get your brain "popping?" Today in 1939, the first Superman comic strip appeared in newspapers! But here's the "super" surprising part - Superman couldn't fly in the early comics! He could only leap tall buildings in a single bound. I guess you could say he was more of a "hop" hero than a "caped" crusader!

And here's something to "chew" on - it's National Fig Newton Day! These cookies were named after Newton, Massachusetts, not Sir Isaac Newton. Though I bet he would have been "gravitated" towards them! They were first made in 1891 and the machines that made them were called "Newton Masters." Talk about being the "master" of your craft!

Today is National Hat Day! And I'm not just "capping" off the day with that fact! Did you know the term "mad as a hatter" came from hat makers in the 1800s who went a little loopy from using mercury in the hat-making process? Talk about some "head-spinning" history! These days, we just tip our hats to safer manufacturing methods!

And speaking of manufacturing, on this day in 1889, the Coca-Cola Company was incorporated in Georgia! But here's something that'll make you bubble with surprise – the first Coca-Cola wasn't even carbonated! Talk about starting flat and working your way up!

Birthday alert! The incredible Martin Luther King Jr. was born on this day in 1929! Here's something you might not know – he skipped both the 9th and 12th grades and started college at just 15! Talk about having a "dream" academic career!

Today is also National Fresh Squeezed Juice Day! Orange you glad I told you that? Did you know it takes about 18 oranges to make one pitcher of fresh-squeezed juice? That's what I call putting the "squeeze" on your fruit supply!

Here's something to "chew" on but if you take too big of a bite you’re liable to get brain freeze – it's National Strawberry Ice Cream Day too! The first recorded strawberry ice cream recipe dates back to 1813 in England!

⏰ Timestamps:

Hold onto your spoons, because today is National Hot Pastrami Sandwich Day! Now that's something to "relish!" Did you know the word pastrami comes from the Romanian "păstra," meaning "to preserve"? I guess you could say they really "preserved" this tradition! The sandwich was first created in New York's kosher delis in the late 1800s – talk about a recipe for success!

And speaking of success, on this day in 1954, Marilyn Monroe married baseball legend Joe DiMaggio! Their marriage might have struck out after just 274 days, but hey, that's still a longer run than some baseball seasons! You could say their love was more of a short stop than a home run!

Birthday alert! On this day in 1969, Jason Bateman came into the world! Before his "Arrested Development," little Jason started acting at age 10 on "Little House on the Prairie." I guess you could say he was "prairie-pared" for stardom from the start!

Want to hear something that'll really get your gears turning? Today in 1794, Dr. Jesse Bennett performed the first successful cesarean section in America! Talk about a "delivery" that really made history! And get this – he performed it on his own wife! Now that's what I call taking your work home with you!

And here's something nuts – it's also National Organize Your Home Day! Time to get your ducks in a row... and your socks in pairs! Did you know the average person spends one year of their life looking for misplaced items? Talk about a "cluttered" schedule!

Hold onto your rubber duckies, because today is National Rubber Ducky Day! These squeaky friends first paddled into our hearts in the 1800s, but they really made a splash on Sesame Street. I guess you could say they're pretty "quack-tastic!" Did you know the world's largest rubber duck was 61 feet tall? Talk about getting all your ducks in a row!

And speaking of things that float your boat, on this day in 1888, the National Geographic Society was founded! They sure "mapped" out their success well – get it? But here's something that'll really put you on the map: their first magazine didn't have a single photograph in it! I guess you could say they were still developing their style!

Now, lettuce tell you about another celebration – it's National Peach Melba Day! This dessert was created in 1892 by French chef Auguste Escoffier for opera singer Nellie Melba. Talk about hitting a sweet note! The chef was obviously thinking outside the box... the icebox, that is!

Here's a birthday that'll make you flip – Julia Louis-Dreyfus was born on this day in 1961! Before becoming the queen of comedy, she actually worked as a clown at birthday parties. I guess you could say she was just clowning around before making it big!

And here's something that'll really get your circuits buzzing – on January 13th, 1942, Henry Ford patented a plastic car body made from soybeans! Talk about bean-ing creative! Though it never made it to production, the car was 1,000 pounds lighter than steel cars. You could say it was ahead of its time, but the idea just didn't grow on people!

January 10th is National Bittersweet Chocolate Day! But here's the sweet part – bittersweet chocolate was actually discovered by accident! Ancient Aztecs would ferment cacao beans to make drinks, and one day someone discovered that the fermented beans made a more complex, less sweet flavor. Today, true bittersweet chocolate must contain at least 35% pure chocolate!

On January 10th, 1946, the first radar contact with the moon was made! The U.S. Army bounced radio signals off the lunar surface and received them back on Earth 2.4 seconds later. Talk about a long-distance call!

Today is also National Save the Eagles Day! When this day was first established in 1975, there were only about 417 nesting pairs of bald eagles left in the lower 48 states. Today, thanks to conservation efforts, there are over 316,700! Now that's what I call a comeback story!

Want to hear something incredible? On this day in 1863, the world's first underground railway opened in London! The Metropolitan line was just 3.75 miles long and was built using the 'cut and cover' method – basically digging a huge trench and covering it up. Today, the London Underground carries 5 million passengers every day!

Today is National Houseplant Appreciation Day! But did you know that houseplants didn't become popular until the Victorian era? People thought keeping plants indoors was impossible until physician Nathaniel Ward accidentally discovered that plants could thrive in sealed glass containers in 1829!
