I'm a massive repository of useless trivia. The problem is I always feel the unstoppable urge to share it with everyone right away. I'm sure I can't be the only crazy fucker like that so I'm starting a "Random Trivia Thread" much like the Random Picture Thread.
Basically the rules are as follows:
1) Trivia cannot in any way relate to Keira. Anything but Keira is perfectly acceptable game, however.
2) You must post the trivia within a day of discovering it (yes, within 24 hours). This isn't supposed to be a spam-fest with people posting masses of trivia they've accumulated over the years, but rather an "instant release" of trivia you've just discovered.
3) Try and make the trivia as widely-interesting as possible. Basically try and avoid really niche subjects, stick to what would be considered "General Knowledge" subjects.
4) If possible cite your reference point. You don't need to link to it, but it would be nice to know how you came about the knowledge. Plus it also helps us check out rule number 2 is actually being followed ;)
I don't think there's a need for any other rules but I'll come back and edit this post if I think of any more (I did search for a thread like this and there's none quite like it). I'll add a NSFW tag if it becomes necessary (depends what trivia finds its way here)
Ok, my useless piece of trivia, gained on tonight's Friday Night Project:
Mischa Barton isn’t American. I knew she was born in England but always assumed she had American parentage on at least one side. However it turns out her mum is Irish and her Dad is Mancunian, she just moved to New York when she was 5.
