Let’s play some Trivia

Posted on by laurenarva

Trivia is not something I would say I dabble with to any extent, really; I don’t think I can count the one or two random occasions during which I participated in a game, especially since I really cannot comprehend how damn long ago they were. I guess that doesn’t make me the best host for it, but the internet will be assisting me with today’s version.

I was randomly hit with the idea to write a blog with some arbitrary trivia to engage whoever pleases. I like to think I’ll (hopefully) learn a thing or two myself, and the following trivia questions, and answers, come from today.com.
