Trivia, but Not Trivial

Few can resist the pull of trivia, whether we like to impress our friends with our knowledge of the Crimean War or accost strangers arguing over the year of the great ice storm. Now, those of us who find the greatness in trivia can join others in the Shoals, even competing for our area, state, or country.

Original Bama, an administrator for the Shoals Forum on Free Forums, an avid trivia buff, began a trivia contest on Fun Trivia some months ago. During its existence, it's evolved and become something of an institution, drawing many area players. OB invites us all to join in the fun as the contest begins its second full year.

For those who haven't played, each day of the week features a distinct topic. The test is timed, so be sure to use a standard mouse and not a touch pad. The test itself changes during the day, so that families with several members don't have an unfair advantage over the single player.

If you find yourself addicted to this form of trivia, the host site Fun Trivia offers other contests throughout the day and is definitely a must-add for your favorites list. Here's the link and happy trivialities:

What's up with this: Anyone called local sheriffs Ronnie Willis or Ronnie May to see just how much money they're pocketing from prisoner food accounts?
