Some people know too much. I say this in light of just having had my team come in second-last place in a pub trivia quiz.
I mean, how do people remember the year in which the ANC was taken off the terrorist watchlist? Or stuff like who won silver in some Olympic sport from many years back?
I am a big fan of trivial knowledge, I'll grant you that. It just seems like such a conspiracy that nobody ever asks me the stuff that I do know.

hahaha :) name one question you would want to be asked!
ReplyDeleteSome people just know trivial answers, not actual culture.
ReplyDeletewho decides what "culture" is?
ReplyDeleteWhat I mean is that you can't say someone knows about a particular topic just because he/she knows a strange fact.
ReplyDeleteI feel exactly the same way, so it's no wonder I always loose in quizzes :p
ReplyDelete:) One question I'd like to be asked? "What is the most common tumor of the cerebellopontine angle?" :P
ReplyDeleteNah, maybe what the S in Harry S Truman stands for? That's one of my favorite trivia facts :)
