General Knowledge: Trivia Edition
by The Empty Lord Tue Jun 21, 2011 11:40 pm
Thought it'd be nice to compile a list to things that belong in the trivia section of general knowledge. 
I'll start;
• Hot water freezes faster than cold water.
• Christ isn't Jesus' surname, it's his title.

Gravy granules are made by leaving a cow in a room with a large packet of silica gel for several hours. Once very dry, it's ground down using oversized sand paper.

Google is in the dictionary [verb; to google, googled, googling]. But that's probably too common knowledge to be considered trivia.

McDonalds sells McNuggets in packs of 6, 9, and 20. If you want 43 McNuggets exactly with none left over, you're screwed, but if you want an number larger than that you're set.
Incidentally, if they happened to sell them in boxes of 137, 902, and 417 then you can make any number over 12781 but you cannot make that exact number

A particular brand of American baby food failed to take of in South Africa for one important reason.
The baby food in question was sold in jars which featured the image of a child on the front. At the time in which this brand first reached South Africa, a large number of South Africans were illiterate and so relied on images on food packages to explain what was inside them. Since there was a baby on the jar, it was assumed that the food inside was infact human baby.

QI also said that Earth has two natural satellites.
But good facts.
