This was a fun trivia. Looks like the King wants a clean look, huh?! I might take a second look on my cards. Haha
Good list. Elephants can't jump but oddly they are good swimmers.
Excellent random trivia. I wonder if the police dogs are trained in another language to avoid others from yelling commands at them??
Is that why Charlie Brown was basically bald – the cartoon right?
I would rather sleep than watch TV anyway!
Fun facts to know and yell!
Bummer about the TV watching… And how come I can smell a skunk a mile away (and I do all the time!) but I've NEVER seen one!
And you can add me to that list with the elephants. :/
Lol some GREAT randoms there Stacy – an you educated us too..sneaky mom! hehe. I especially love the car horn at the tone of F. And did you know there was a snake recently that was born with two heads? It was over here!
Hi Stacy.

Good info.
Have a great rtt!

I am so not surprised by burning more calories by sleeping than watching TV. I move around all the time while sleeping and don't move an inch while watching TV.
:o)
all for more sleeping and less TV. smiles. have fun cooking!
Love your trivia! Glad to hear the plague has departed. We are finally getting better too.
Have a great day!

I LOVE stuff like that!!!
Can you imagine if a elephant DID jump?
I love your random facts. I didn't know that one about Mary Stuart.
Ewwww, thanks for the blood squirting visual!
I sleep all the time. It's not working! Do I need to sleep even more???
Sick about the airborne toilet particles!
Ok, it's kind of scary that I didn't know any of that except about the toothbrush. I guess that tells you that I am the worst Trivial Pursuit partner
Elephants huh!! LOL Happy RTT!!
I actually knew a few of them! The Mario one just means that I am old!
The Charlie Brown one, that is why he had no hair!
More sleep, less tv. Got it!
I think I must have married a skunk since I can smell Jamie's ass from a mile away too.

the only one of these that i actually knew was about mary queen of scots
I love this trivia stuff! Plastic money? What the hell is up with that??? Can you imagine trying to stuff plastic bills in your wallet?
What I don't love is how your blog is acting, and yours is the only one that acts this way. I get the page to load fairly quickly, but then scrolling down to read is a very slowwwwwwwwww process. Then, the popup comment window takes forever to load. Then it takes forever to post. Then, even when I X out your blog, it takes forever to go away! WTF????
Justine 😮 )
Great randomness. The two headed snake one is crazy. I'm assuming they have one stomach.
Interesting facts, love them.
So I guess I need to take more naps!
its really very great and nice posting here. i like it very much.
Hi Stacy! 🙂 I love trivias! 🙂
I didn't think I would meet someone else who is a girl, who knew that stuff about Mario… 😀 yay, i'm not alone! 😀
oh so that leslie nielsen movie, dracula: dead & loving it, wasn't exaggerating when it showed how Lucy's blood squirted about 30 feet across the room when she was staked at the heart… cool! 😀
Happy RTT's Stacy! 🙂
hmmm… I should be doing more sleeping then!
