Really, Really Random Trivia…

Prep for game night kids, awaking those sleeping brain cells.


Abraham Lincoln’s favorite food was cheese. I love cheese too, it is its own food group, right.

Murmansk, in Russia, is the largest city north of the Arctic Circle. Ever been?

Keanu Reeve trained for four months with a martial arts expert before filming The Matrix (1999). That’s great, but he still can’t act.

"Lobster shift" is a colloquial term for the night shift of a newspaper staff. Really, why not graveyard shift like all other professions?

Dogs sweat through the pads of their feet. Expert dog trainer, Ms. T will vouch for this statement.

Chief Sitting Bull was originally named "Jumping Badger." I can see why he changed it.

William Howard Taft and William Henry Harrison owned cows at the White House. I bet the grass was well fertilized.

Star Trek's Mr. Spock had green skin because of traces of copper and nickel in his blood. Just in case you were wondering.

Chalk is made from tiny plankton fossils. Ick, sounds gross and I just used chalk yesterday.

Since its first appearance in 1912, OREO Chocolate Sandwich Cookies have reigned supreme as being the number one selling cookie in America. Everyone loves an Oreo Cookie. Can’t you just hear the song in your head.

Joseph C. Gayetty of New York City invented toilet paper in 1857. THANK YOU Joseph!!!!!

A cluster or bunch of bananas is called a hand. Individual bananas are called fingers. If I have to eat a banana, it is best in a mini muffin format.

Americans consume more than 353 million pounds of turkey during National Turkey Lovers' Month (June). By comparison, more than 675 million pounds of turkey will be consumed at Thanksgiving. Who know there was a National Turkey Lovers’ Month?

Did I not warn you it was really random trivia? Are your cells awake? Are you ready for that game night?

You are a lean, mean trivia machine!

Happy, Happy FRIDAY!!!!!!
