Today is May 25. Happy birthday to Frank Oz! He's best known as a muppeteer, but he's also directed many movies. His first non-Henson directing job was the movie below, which still involved a puppet--one that required as many as 40 puppeteers to operate, no less. What legendary Motown singer was the voice of that puppet?

Today is May 24. On this day in 1883, fireworks burst overhead as the bridge pictured below opened to the public. It was an engineering marvel born of multiple tragedies. Its designer died before construction began after his foot was crushed by a barge, which then developed tetanus. His son took over construction of the bridge, but he too was nearly fatally injured trying to build the thing. What affliction debilitated many of the bridge's workers, and caused its chief builder to be bedridden throughout construction, preventing him from even participating in the opening-day festivities?

Today is May 23. Seven years ago, Tom Cruise did this:

A more cynical trivia website than this one might surmise that he mounted Oprah's furniture in a ill-fated attempt to demonstrate his excitement over his new romance with Katie Holmes, and then further wonder what he was over-compensating for. Anyway: He was originally supposed to be on the show to publicize a new movie. What movie was that?

It's May 22. Happy 32nd birthday to Pac-Man! The mania inspired by that hungry little ghost-muncher peaked in 1981 when the song below hit #9 on the Billboard chart.
