~ Geography and Africa seem to be favorite topics of the people that write the questions.  Geography and Africa are not favorite topics of our team.

~ When the team member who's been asking for a question on 90s music for months, finally gets a question on 90s music, she'll probably squeal with excitement.  It's a fact.  When the answer is her very favorite singer - Sarah MacClachlan - she'll be even more excited. 

~ The fact that 83% of the weapons found by the TSA are loaded is a frankly terrifying statistic - one that I really wish I didn't know.

~ Sometimes a love for jewelry helps you answer questions about Murano glass.
