Heads up! Here are 5 things you want to know today.

Today is National Trivia Day, according to National Day Calendar. That means I'm conditionally allowed to regale you with useless facts.

Did you know that goats have rectangular pupils and approximately 320 degrees of vision?

Or that a group of hippos is called a "bloat?"

Last one: Slugs have four noses!!!

1. According to the National Weather Service in Mt. Holly, N.J., showers are likely today after 3 p.m. As it gets later, rain gets more likely. It'll be cloudy all day and night, with a high of 64 during the day and a low of 50 at night.

2. Yesterday was the extradition hearing of Bryan Kohberger, the suspect in the murder of four University of Idaho students.

Kohberger waived his hearing and will be taken to Idaho to face charges. Our Julian Abraham was in the courthouse for the proceedings and a news conference by state police.

3. Yesterday was also the scheduled swearing-in of both state and federal lawmakers, though it didn't happen in our nation's capital. Here's why.

4. After the original 2019 event was cancelled due to weather, the organizers of Lehigh Valley Space Fest are back with something better than ever for this spring.

5. The Parkland School Board appointed a new member to fill an empty seat on Tuesday night, which sparked debate about transparency.
