A couple months ago, I was reading trivia on a website that was called "useless knowledge" or something to that extent. I knew this was completely useless, but then, two days later, my History teacher pulled out a trivia card game.

I have an anti-trivia fact. A very common "Random Fact" for people to use is, "Peanuts are one of the ingredients in dynamite"

Wrong. And shut up.
