Tid Bit of the day

So I'm a fan of trivia. Contrary to popular belief from what seems to me a large amount of users on this forum, I do know a thing or two about useless stuff. On Facebook for example, I usually always beat my opponents in the game's triviador and Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader. I love the board game Trivia Pursuit and my family NEVER beats me. LOL So with that this thread is the Tid Bit of the day thread. Post a Tid Bit (not bull shit).

Tid Bit #1

Got this from the back of a Snapple tea bottle cap. They always have fun facts on the bottom of the caps.

I'll paraphrase: "Male pups inherently allow female pups to win while playing so that they can get to know them better."

I LMAO when I read that, but I guess it's true. You can go to snapple.com and find other tid bits.

Interesting to know, we have always noticed this behavior in our two dogs. Our mini schnauzer weighs probably 2x-3x more than our female boston terrior and when they play tug of war with their favorite toy he always lets her pull him around.

Head asplodes.

I was playing Trivia Crack (Android app) quite a bit until recently. I played my friends and won about 90% of the time, at least. I sensed people were not wanting to play so I stopped sending invites and no one challenged me until like last week when my buddy did, the one guy who is actually a challenge to play against. I guess I'm full of useless info like you, OP.

My phone's pedometer says I average 10,865 steps a day. I guess I only though I was a lazy fuck. Pick it up America!

Thank you for doing your part to offset my "contribution."


(I have no idea how much I walk in a day. Probably not very much anymore.)
 
5,000 steps even seems generous. I wonder what it is for someone who lives in a suburban setting and drives to work everyday and works on a computer all day?
