Trivia Day

January 4th Marks a Day to Observe Trivia

We all know that person. The one who seems to know everything about everything. The one we absolutely hate to play Trivial Pursuit with because we know we will never win. Yes, we all know that person. The person who reigns at trivia games and questions. Well, to add insult to injury, a day has now been set aside to observe and honor trivia, as if to throw our ignorance right back into our own faces. So, how did this day come about? What are the events for Trivia Day, observed on January 4th?

The exact origin of Trivia Day is not known. Ah, an interesting answer to a trivia question, indeed. While some believe it was simply created by the cyber community as a day to observe and recognize our own stupidity, others truly believe this is a day of celebration, observed with attention that it so deserves. January 4th of each year marks the day on which the trivia specialist, also known as the "know it all", will astound us with even more facts of irrelevance. To trivia guru's amazement, however, pop culture will also use this day to become saavy in a niche field and regain some dignity in terms of knowledge base. So, how will pop culture go about getting the upper hand in preparation for the "events" of Trivia Day?

Prior to January 4th, pretend you are a sponge! Begin absorbing useless pieces of information. For assistance with gathering information on facts that are generally useless to every day life, consider visiting websites such as www.funtrivia.com. On this website, hundreds and thousands of useless pieces of information are stored for your reading pleasure. As soon as feasibly possible, begin frequenting pages such as this one, putting facts and more facts into your short term memory. After all, beyond January 4th, the crown will be passed back to your friendly "know it all" and you'll have no need for the information again.
