I'm not googling these. I'm just relying on my fading memory. Would it be Max Schmelling or suchlike?

Thank you. It's been so long since I've asked a trivia question. Should I ask a hard one or not? No, I'll be kind.
When was the Constitution of the United States created?

CebuShan has it correct.
I grew up in Connecticut and here is a little bit of history we learned about.
Connecticut was designated the Constitution State by the General Assembly in 1959. As early as the 19th Century, John Fiske, a popular historian from Connecticut, made the claim that the Fundamental Orders of 1638-39 were the first written constitution in history. Some contemporary historians dispute Fiske's analysis. However, Simeon E. Baldwin, a former Chief Justice of the Connecticut Supreme Court, defended Fiske's view of the Fundamental Orders in Osborn's History of Connecticut in Monographic Form by stating that "never had a company of men deliberately met to frame a social compact for immediate use, constituting a new and independent commonwealth, with definite officers, executive and legislative, and prescribed rules and modes of government, until the first planters of Connecticut came together for their great work on January 14th, 1638-9." The text of the Fundamental Orders is reproduced in Section I of this volume and the original is on permanent display at the Museum of Connecticut History at the State Library. Connecticut has also been known as the Nutmeg State, the Provisions State, and the Land of Steady Habits.

Funny...this was just on my local news. San Bernardino, California. I forgot the year. I believe they sold 10 cent hamburgers.

It was San Bernardino, YLGuy!  It was actually started in 1940 by Dick & Mac McDonald as a BBQ place! In 1948 they decided to remodel and started selling the 15 cent hamburgers. You're up, YL! |

In 1947 I worked part-time at an ice cream parlor and got 50 cents an hour. I don't think there was a minimum wage law then.

Sorry to barge in on the Trivia Channel - I recall buying five hamburgers for a dollar in 1955 when gas was .29 cents a gallon.
In 1961, the minimum wage in California was $1.75 per hour.

Martin Van Buren was the first president to have been born a United States citizen, since all of his predecessors were born British subjects before the American Revolution.
