Nerdy Trivia: March 13, 2026

Happy National Open An Umbrella Indoors Day!

The people who picked March 13 for this holiday knew exactly what they were doing. Scheduling a bad luck ritual on a day that would inevitably fall on Friday the 13th takes a deep commitment to the heebie-jeebies. I'm not saying anything bad is going to happen, but I am saying my umbrella is staying in the bag.

Retro Rewind: On This Day

34 years ago TODAY, courtroom logic got steamrolled by Brooklyn confidence when "My Cousin Vinny" was released in 1992!
Joe Pesci’s Vinny Gambini heads south to defend two New York college kids wrongly accused of murder, only to spend half the movie getting roasted by the judge.

What started as a fish-out-of-water legal comedy turned into Tomei’s Oscar win for Best Supporting Actress.
Retro Trivia
What year was the first VCR made?

It's difficult to impart upon the youth of today how revolutionary it was when you could watch and record movies, TV shows, whatever, AT HOME. Hell, I didn't even fully grasp it. I really only ever knew a world where I could even set the VCR to record at a pre-planned date and time. Incredible.
