About this Blog
Enough with the serious stuff...
Trivia fascinates me and I have a burning desire
to involve others in this useless, aimless, but
fun activity.
I am a strong believer in learning something new
everyday and so I am foisting this knowledge on
you as well. Who knows when you will need some
useless, tid bit of information to form part
of one of your yarns.
Call it a community service if you will. You'll
thank me for it one day!
