Thankfully my neighbor loves the NHL. I think it was Jaromir Jagr?

Yup, it was indeed Jagr who was the last Czech born player to be named league MVP. The year was 1999.
Ok, someone come up with the next question.

I think you should come up with another question Lynn, since you obviously stumped everyone for ages!

If I may jump in (the thread has been inactive for a fairly considerable duration), I have a relatively easy question:
"Vivian Darkbloom" is an anagram of what famous Russian-American author's name?

I dare say I have no idea of the answer. Alas, I suppose Rubes would have got it right. He was always good at that sort of thing.
Unless someone else would like to have a go, could you pretty please post the answer and possibly another question?

On June 13th, 1920, what did the US Postal Service say was illegal to send via parcel post?
I learned this today on iGoogle. : )

I'm almost tempted to think that it was something weird, like puppies or children or something... but I can't say that I know off the top of my head.

It was totally children--is that weird or what? So prior to 1920, your kids could be sent via parcel post.
But here's my question, were they put in a box or were they just sent on the same train/whatever took them there?
That's not so much a question I have the answer to...just curious.

I'm thinking of cases where kids would try to mail themselves, like you know when you slap a bunch of stamps on your face and jump into the mailbox... maybe that was messing up the normal mail?
It's weird that they had a law about it though! I thought common sense would tell you not to mail your children.

I have noticed, during the course of my relatively short life, that there are many people in this world who completely lack common sense
