It's time for my weekly, "Hey, I'll bet you didn't know that..." trivia!

A few fun facts to have in your back pocket to impress the kids, to one up your boss, to be a pompous ass at parties, or to just know - a la Cliff Clavin. (Kids, google him).

As most of you probably already know by now, I love useless information. That's probably pretty evident by the deep conversations we have on the Mike and Carla Morning Show.

Knowledge is seen as "attractive," and people who show their knowledge of random facts to others are often thought of as intelligent. So you'll appear to be much smarter if you throw one of these out. Or you'll get funny looks. Either way, you probably won't have to talk to that person to long.

These are the kind of useless facts that will help you beat your know it all family member at Trivial Pursuit, or maybe just win a free pitcher of Coors at Trivia night at your favorite bar.

Here you go!
