...that duh, there's no trivia at Ruloff's during Cornell's fall break.

Karaoke as a substitute was fun, though.  And good luck to Hanners student teaching in NYC this week!

A great quote from Margaret Thatcher:

It's the birthday of the former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, born in Grantham, England, in 1925. She said, "Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't."

And from the department of "maybe sometimes it's better if you don't know what's going on":

It's the birthday of singer and songwriter Paul Simon, born in Newark, New Jersey, (1941). In 1964, he and his friend Art Garfunkel recorded a folk album, Wednesday Morning, 3 AM. It was a flop, and Paul Simon moved back in with his parents. But without telling Simon and Garfunkel, a producer added electric guitar, bass, and drums to the song "The Sound of Silence" and released it as a single. It went to No. 1 on the pop charts.

Ok, quick experiment, mostly for younger readers (say, college age and under): who has never heard of the song, "The Sound of Silence," by Simon and Garfunkel? Or maybe you've vaguely heard of it but don't really know anything about it or what it sounds like. If that's you, let me know in the comments. Something tells me I'm about to feel really old.

You can watch Simon and Garfunkel perform the song here. And you can read more about it here.

Ok, I'm done now.

(Photo credit witheld until the end of the week to keep from giving it away...suffice to say...it is not my work)

I've been in Atlanta this weekend (and by Atlanta, I mean my parents' house in the 'burbs and my extended family's homes in the exurbs). My grandmother's 79th birthday was yesterday and we had a family lunch on Saturday. Yesterday I watched my 4.5 year old nephew play soccer and played with my 2.5 year old niece. Both are adorable!!

I'm headed back home today and am going to trivia with the girls tonight. I'll have to write a separate post about the different team names we've had. Hysterical.

Next weekend, we're headed to Rhinebeck. More details to come...

In what was one of my harder quizzes in some time, a team of four virtually won after the first two rounds, even though they did horribly in the fifth round.  My cats round was one of the hardest yet, though trees was much harder for people.  Scores:

Winner:  Liancourt Rocks (134)

2nd Place:  That Dude Over There Is Creepy (109)

3rd Place:  Blake Sabbath (100)

4th Place:  Libras Love Lots (97)

5th Place:  I Can See Russia From My House (69)  BEST TEAM NAME

6th Place:  IQ of 1 (63)

7th Place:  Bushy Minge (45)

8th Place:  Con Cojones (32)

Where do these facts come from? What possessed you to learn them? Sure, in High School most of what you learned was trivia. Who fought in this battle and who wrote this book, well, those aren't things critical to your everyday life and future. Unless you're a History or English major or you're on a Who Wants To Be a Millionaire, but that's another story.

But what about the stuff you know that you didn't pick up in High School? Like the life span of medieval men and women (average: 29 for man) or that Dai Vernon was the only magician to discover the secret to one of Harry Houdini's tricks while Houdini was alive. How did this get into your head?

Is it from being bombarded with information every hour of the day? From radio, to advertisements, to t.v.? Or is it our friends, co-workers, and strangers (who already learned the trivia from other people) that spread the knowledge? Or maybe its just the internet, which is now a constant presence in our lives. Some of the most random stuff pops up on the internet.

And yet, to play both sides, does it matter? If you have trivia, it just means it was something worth remembering. Because how often do you keep something in your memory that you don't want to remember?

So, the fact that punctuation didn't come around in English until the12th century must mean more than that grammar test you failed in 9th grade.

And everyone knows statistics are fun to read and will usually stick in memory. Such as, 33 percent of people polled online believe that scratching a person's vehicle is a more effective form of revenge than burning down their house.

So why do we have such trivial knowledge stuck in our minds? How come it stays, instead of going in one ear and out the other (like an order from a boss?) I don't know, but what I can say is that everybody is learning more everyday because of everyday things, such as t.v and internet and print items.

And what we retain and what we don't, well that depends on the person.

Well, here's the bad news -- that aroma is actually a collection of noxious fumes caused by the various glues holding the car's interior together. And while collectively it may smell good, it's not at all good for you.

ABC News explains that the new car smell may cause "headaches, sore throat, nausea, and possibly cancer." The United States doesn't have a law against the "volatile organic compounds" that cause new car smell, but some countries do. In the U.S., "new car interiors can contain 128 times the legal limit" in Australia.

So should a gas mask come free with every new car? Maybe, maybe not. This article from CNN reports that environmental groups are calling for new regulations in the U.S. Like all things government-related, this may take a while. In the meantime, new car owners should use solar reflectors, open their car windows, and park out of the sun when possible.

Total bummer! I kinda like that new car smell!

In October 2002, the US investment bank Bear Stearns entered an order to sell $4bn (£2.6bn) worth of Standard & Poor securities in a late trade, 20 minutes before the market closed. In the world of high finance this is not that unusual. The problem was that there had been a “clerical error” and the real sum should have been $4m, 1,000 times less than the order that was actually placed. They were finally able to cancel all but $622m of the order before execution. These kinds of errors do happen from time to time.  In 1998 a Salomon Brothers trader mistakenly sold £850m-worth of French government bonds by leaning on his keyboard.

The Ryugyong Hotel is an unfinished concrete skyscraper in Pyongyang, North Korea. Work initially began in 1987 but ceased in 1992 due to the government's financial difficulties. It has yet to be opened but after 16 years of inactivity building has finally resumed this year. It has 105 stories and stands 330 m tall with 360,000 m² of floor space, making it by far the largest structure in Kim Jong-il communist paradise. When they first started, they intended it to be world’s tallest hotel. Critics have been less than complimentary about it. It has earned epithets such as the “worst building in the history of mankind”, "one of the most expensive white elephants in history” and the "Hotel of Doom". The North Korean government has airbrushed the building out of pictures of the capital.

On the bloody Eastern Front during the Second World War the Russian Army came up with the idea of an anti-tank dog. The year was 1942, just a few months after Hitler had launched Operation Barbarossa. It was a brilliantly simple theory; if you always feed a dog underneath a tank, underneath a tank is the first place that they'll head towards on the battlefield. The starving dogs would carry explosives strapped on their backs with a harness. They were then trained to run under the enemy tanks and in doing so would activate a large wooden trigger that would cause the bomb to detonate. However, there was one slight snag - they were used to the Soviet tanks and in battle they would run often under their own side’s vehicles. They thus became a menace to the Red army, once forcing an entire Russian tank division into retreat.  Although they were credited with the destruction of 300 German tanks, they were then promptly retired from service.

The NASA Mars Climate Orbiter will go down in the annals of incompetence. Lockheed Martin, who were involved in the ill-fated Orbiter project, wrongly assumed that they would be using imperial measurements for the controlling software. Nobody told NASA this and the inevitable result was that the $330 million spacecraft missed its orbit, entering the Martian atmosphere at about 57 km instead of the target of 140–150 km. This was too close and it was never heard of again.

During the 1978 firemen’s strike of 1978 the British Army took over emergency fire fighting duties. On 14 January they were called out by an elderly lady to rescue her cat, which was stuck up a tree. They arrived quickly and soon were able to bring the cat down. The lady was delighted and invited them all in for tea. Once the beverages had been served and they had said goodbye to the lady, they drove off. Unfortunately they then ran over the cat and killed it.

In August 1975 three men were trying to rob the Royal Bank of Scotland at Rothesay, the principal town on the Isle of Bute, off the West coast of Scotland. They found themselves trapped in the bank’s revolving doors. After being freed by some employees, the three men thanked them and left the bank. They probably should have called it a day there and then, but they were nothing if not persistent. A few minutes later they were back and announced that they were going to rob the bank. The staff all thought it was some kind of practical joke and when the men demanded £5,000 the head cashier started laughing.  Furious at the lack of respect they were being shown, one of the men jumped over the counter. But he fell to the floor, clutching his ankle in agony. The other two robbers finally realised the futility of it all and attempted a clean getaway, only to get stuck in revolving doors once again

Millionaire businessman Gerald Ratner managed to wipe off £500 million from the value of Ratners jewellers with one speech in 1991. In the speech he was somewhat unflattering about some of his company’s jewellery products, and by extension all of them.  He said: …We also do cut-glass sherry decanters complete with six glasses on a silver-plated tray that your butler can serve you drinks on, all for £4.95. People say, 'How can you sell this for such a low price?' I say, because it's total crap ……….. We even sell a pair of earrings for under £1, which is cheaper than a prawn sandwich from Marks & Spencer’s. But I have to say the earrings probably won't last as long " These comments were picked up by the media and Ratner got the sack. At least he had the satisfaction of having an expression named after him; Doing a Ratner is used for this type of corporate gaffe.

I'm pretty sure my name is probably on the house deeds by now, even though I've yet to get a copy back, enough anyway to spend a week abusing my ex by text message. I have to stop though now because of our ridiculous laws on harassment. Or at least; cut down the frequency. In the last stages of coughing up, her solicitor even had the bare faced cheek to request how big my mortgage was after this payment (request denied), like surveying the damagae after a bombing raid. If it weren't for that I don't think I would have sent my last letter; details and photos of my wedding, and f* off thans very much. Fifteen years, never paid a thing, takes me for some extortionate amount on the way out; bitch.

Mrs H went from quite gravely ill yesterday, to bright and chirpy on the phone , enthusiastic about coming to live with me even though this could still be several weeks away, and talking of shipping her stuff. She popped out of church to take my call.

I cycled round town, window shopped, enjoyed the sunshine today and finally started to feel like I might find some peace and love in this world.

1. You can have a serious conversation with your partner. But this would be a bad idea, because it will seem like an interrogation and your partner will not be inclined to participate.
2. Make a game of it. You can find fun questions to ask your partner. Not only will your learn a lot of new things about your partner and enjoy yourself, you can also use this as an opening to know more serious things. Once your partner is in a talkative mood, he or she will be more open to answering everything you ask.

Here are 10 examples of fun questions to ask your partner: 

1. If you were an animal, what would you be?
2. If you could meet any person in the world, who would it be?
3. If you had 3 wishes from a genie, what would you ask?
4. What did you dream you'd be when you were growing up?
5. Did you ever use a sex toy, and if so what was it?
6. What's your favorite fantasy?
7. Would you come to sing a duet with me at the local karaoke bar?
8. Who is your favorite super hero?
9. What's the most childish thing about you?
10. Who is your favorite Star Wars character?

If you want to keep the questions fun, refrain from asking about marriage, raising children, and long termed relationship. There are countless other fun questions you can which will help you know our partner better. Start with the 10 I wrote and carry on from there.

Remember how much fun we had playing trivia last year? Well, maybe, just maybe we should do it again. If you would like for the Blatant Bibliophiles to bring back trivia for 2008-2009, reply to this post by clicking on the title and leaving a comment. Check out the blog manners above if you don't remember how to leave a comment; mainly, just remember to enter your first name only when you're online. You can help out with trivia by participating, encouraging your friends to participate, and maybe helping out with getting the refreshments out if you're not participating.
