This is a question Useless Information

Did you know that crabs wee through their eyes? That maidenhair moss is so called because Anglo-saxons thought it looked like pubes? That Albanians have 17 different words for moustache? Astound us with your utterly useless and obscure knowledge.

Origin of Trivia (apparently)
A mate of mine (called Cunty who moved to Australia and married his cousin) swears blind that the wrod `Trivia` comes from waaaay back when there were 3 villages near each other, with three roads that met in the middle. The women would meet there and gossip - hence tri (three) via (roads). He could be full of shit though.
