This is exactly why no one wants to play Trivial Pursuit with me. My mind has this capacity for useless information.
"My mind has this capacity for useless information"
so does google
I'm sure Google does, but that doesn't denigrate the fact that I still know the shit.
bj - nice showing, nice.
josh - you are correct, though 3) is sheep and horses, 5) is most often just squirrel and 8) is TECHNICALLY "crimson".
my blogging has the capacity for totally useless information I get in forwards from my mom. :)
