Trivia

My friend, Gwyn, always says I have a head for trivia. She could be right. I am pretty good at playing Trivial Pursuit. However, I have a favorite book titled, Uncle John's Legendary Lost Bathroom Reader by the Bathroom Readers' Institute.

This book is filled with wonderful useless/useful information, depending on your viewpoint. I especially love the fillers at the bottom of each page. For instance, did you know there are approximately 720 peanuts in every pound of peanut butter? Or, did you know that most of the villains in the Bible have red hair? Or, the little know fact that in the novel Frankenstein the monster's name was Adam? Also, did you know that tornadoes can last as long as nine hours?

There are also great articles like Meet Dr. Seuss, Caffeine Facts and MTV Facts.

Yes indeed, it is one of my favorite pieces of reading material. No home should be without one.
