Did you know that dolphins have larger brains than humans. Hmm, isn’t this an interesting fact? A nice pointless thing to tell someone else, spreading these fun facts far and wide. I am a sucker for trivia, fun facts and little tidbits that I can tell people. Something interesting to throw into a conversation. Now this isn’t to say that I know a lot of trivia, I am rather bad at trivia games. I love them nonetheless, and there are some local trivia spots here in Burnaby and by extension the lower mainland.
When it comes to trivia there is a lot out there. From the classic introduction of Jeopardy, which is specialized trivia that is not well known. The contestants on Jeopardy take their trivia very seriously, they train for it and getting onto a show is a big deal even if it is just once it can really mean a lot to these trivia pursuers. Most of us are not that interested in trivia to try and pursue it full time but we do have a natural curiosity to these quite interesting things. These quite interesting things are very small to very earth shattering.
That was QI, a British panel show that is all based around quite interesting facts. This is another part to learning trivia and fun facts. Although once again for most of us getting on TV is nearly impossible. So how can we enjoy trivia? Well trivia nights, either hosted at home by you and your friends or hosted by someone else. I personally get my trivia fix at the Smarty Pints Trivia Night at the Grand Villa Casino. I get together with the team of misfits and we get to losing, that night of trivia. Getting into trivia is easy, so look local and if you really want to get into it there are plenty of good places to start.
