Did you know...
- Alse Young (sometimes cited as Achsah Young) was the first person in the records executed for witchcraft in the 13 Colonies? (No, I didn't know it either. But I know now. And I also know that it happened in Connecticut, not Massachusetts, like the Birmingham Trivia people cited in tonight's final trivia question at On Tap. So there, smartypantses. I mean, if it's your job to write trivia questions, you should be correct with your facts, even if they're not germane to the point of the question.)
- Bill Gates became a billionaire at age 31.
- Some people in this world must really, really like Def Leopard.
- Guinea pigs are sometimes referred to as Cavy's.
Well I know that stuff now. And knowing is half the battle. Knowing more is the whole battle. Knowing this can help:
- Elliott was the name of Pete's dragon in the 1977 film Pete's Dragon.
- Richie Rich had a robot maid.
- Leslie Stahl was on 60 Minutes.
- NBC owns The Weather Channel now.
- Bill Belichick's first NFL head coaching gig was with the Cleveland Browns.
- The Pintpundit, NxNWA, the Wright Stuff, Drewski and myself rock the trivia. We don't have to pay for our meals that often.
- It's always a brazzle-dazzle day in Passamaquoddy.
