I have this theory I made up this very second. Everyone has a secret thing for trivia. Why are they still making versions of Trivial Pursuit? Even if no one buys it, everyone pauses at it on the game aisle. Everyone wants to pursue that trivia. Really, you can fail every test you ever take and as long as you have some trivia memorized, no one will ever believe your IQ is less than 80. Trivia is the key to conversation starters, awkward moments, and getting more cool points than you deserve. So here, enjoy some trivia!!!
