Q&A

A few weeks ago I attended a hacker trivia night at a bar with some friends.  It was super cool, and I was super useless.  Short of Facebook, Twitter and creating a good password, I know nothing of cyber.  However, tonight I attended a plain old everyday trivia, at a bar.  It was also super cool and this time around I was actually super useful.  Woohoo!

Things I learned:

~ Apparently, teaching Pre-K had its perks, like for instance being only 1 of 2 people on the team that actually knew Eric Carle was famous for writing The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

~ Google is quite useful even when you're not using it to look up answers.  One question asked about a monument that turned 126 years old today.  Thanks to Google's Doodle on the Eiffel Tower, my team got that one correct.

~ I know next to nothing about any sports team that isn't the Orioles or the Ravens.  Also, basketball is a lost cause - however, I was able to choose the Suns randomly but no one listened to me.  Apparently, they should have.

~ Instead of knowing useful things like how to read a map or how to do algebra, I instead fill my brain with useless trivia on things such as a Tesla or the Queen's favorite dog breed.

~ Also, when it comes to things I actually like, such as artwork, movies or travel, I'm unable to even hazard a guess.

~ Lastly, while we may have lost this week, I learned if I'd been there last week, we would have won. No one that was, knew what the inscription on Shakespeare's grave said (Curst be he that move my bones.) Dude!

Trivia is so much more fun when you actually know things!
