Someone recently gifted me with two books containing trivia fun facts. I thank my friend then left it in an inconspicuous book self and promptly forgot about them. I prefer reading serious articles that provoke deep reflections and critical thinking (raises an eyebrow like an intellectual snob)...or so I thought. Well, I just spend several hours reading through one volume and loving every minute of it. The book, "1411 facts to knock you sideways" knocked me sideways. Here are some fun facts in the book The oldest person in history smoked for 96 years (he would have made a great replacement for the Marlboro Man who died of lung cancer at age 51 after smoking for 25 years) "Sexmoan" was the name of a municipality in the Philippines until the city council change it to Sasmuan (After receiving numerous unsavory and lewd comments) 1 in 10 Americans think HTML(Hypertext Markup Language) is a STD (sexually transmitted disease). (Do their laptops and PC use condoms?) Albert Einstein's brain was SMALLER than the average person's brain (Apparently brain size is not correlated with intelligence unless they call you a "peanut brain") Wine drinkers pour 12% more wine into a glass they're holding than one that's sitting on the table. (That should be obvious silly, the 12% covers spillage due to being tipsy) HIC! Know any Trivia fun facts to share?

I thought adding a side comment would elicit a laugh or two.

1. A lot of Koala bears die from chlamydia; they go blind and eventually die. 2. Taco cat spelled backwards is taco cat. Lol just two I thought from the top of my head. I'll comment if I have more!

I love Trivia. I'm hoping the HTML mix up is due to the elderly who don't know about computers. When you clean out a vacuum cleaner you become a vacuum cleaner.

With regards to senior citizens like me, STD is the furthest thing in our thoughts.

@josie_ That's funny and true, but I didn't think about that. That made me laugh.

At least you were honest about it. Here's a trivia about "honesty". Did you know that our sense of humor, intelligence and honesty are reciprocally connected?

@josie_ No, I sure didn't know that... I'm not even sure how they are connected - did you mean being honest corresponds to being humorous and intelligent?

@sishy7 _Let me refer you to Donald Trump as an example. Does he have a sense of humor? How do you rate his intelligence and honesty?
