Trivia

Today’s Question: In the U.S. what does the term “Take-out Finance” refer to?

Previous Question: What animal shocked the citizens of New York City when it roamed the streets in 1973 and prompted the passing of an unusual leash law?

Previous Answer: A 10-foot-tall emu.

It was spotted walking the streets of New York after it accidentally escaped from a circus that specialized in large exotic birds.

When police questioned the circus owners they responded saying "George was constipated, so we thought a run around the grounds may help him feel better.”

Police fined the circus 25 dollars, and 5 months later a bylaw was passed stating that all emus within New York City must be on a leash.
