ITS THAT TIME OF THE MONTH AGAIN...
NO ITS NOT YOUR PERIOD.
ITS THAT HOLIDAY NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT.
ITS TRIVIA DAY.
I feel like trivia is a really weird word. Like shoes, toilet. pineapple (it may look pine-ish, but how on earth is it anything like an apple...?) English is strange.
ANYWAYS. Since trivia day seems a little more interesting than drinking straw day (which was yesterday) I thought I'd enlighten you with super fantastical factoids.
Trivia Day comes from trivial pursuit. (Which I have never been bored enough to play) It started out in Ontario, when two people got fed up (another weird word..how do you "fed" something?) with good ol' scrabble.
They made trivial pursuit. I am not willing to research how the heck that turned into an actual holiday.
Here is your dose of trivia for 2015. ENJOY.
