Trivia Time

Remember when the game Trivial Pursuit came out? Yeah, wannabe geniuses all over the globe bought it to prove their knowledge of all things irrelevant to well . . . anything. But it was so much fun that, for a while there,  Walmart had to hire extra security for crowd control in the game aisle. So in the spirit of those times I’ve whipped up a little trivia quiz for  you. I know, I’ve done this before, but you’re excited about it, aren’t you? Here goes.
