This is not a question, just a curious anecdote: trivia can be
used as a weapon. A history teacher in my school assigns readings
every night (of course). the next day, he asks a question from a
topic we choose, out of a trivia book. if we get it right, no quiz,
if not, zappo!. we can always tell when a quiz is prepared, by the
questions he asked. two so far have been:

	"what is the name of the race track in [ some german town ] "
	correct answer-- "uh, what did you say was the first question
		on the quiz??"

	"What is the olympic event that is 26 miles long"
	(no quiz that day).


			trivia can be deadly.
