A local restaurant/brewpub holds trivia night on Thursday nights, and for a few years now groups from my school--teachers, and sometimes students--have gone. Each team is allowed up to 6 people, and of course no cell phones or similar equipment is allowed.
Since Christmas break I've been three times; our team make-up has varied slightly over these three times, but it's a very fun group.
The first time I went we scored 21/30. The next time we scored 24, and last night we scored 25.
As someone famous once said, there is much pleasure to be gained from the knowledge of useless facts.
That's great.

Ah, brings back memories of HS. I got my varsity letter on the academic team (I'm such a geek). I was the random trivia specialist.
ReplyDeleteI won us a match at the national meet for knowing the title of a Jules Verne novel that wasn't published until 1994 (Paris in the 20th Century) and the color the some Amazonian fish turns when it wants to mate (orange).
