Trivial Things
February 8, 2007 at 12:55 pm AST by Rodney MacLeod

I love trivia!

I am the guy that spouts off useless information all the time.

If you mentioned Vancouver Canucks, I might mention they play at the only arena in the NHL that does not use a Zamboni.

Some times I just spout off trivia out of the blue with no discernable association to what the conversation is.

I was a member of a quite successful trivia team at The Wave of UPEI (Which I have been told holds the distinction of being the first internet domain with the extension .ca).

Well, I have now had the privilege of hosting trivia with Dennis and Frank at First Baptist Church College and Career group once a month. So far we have had 3 trivia nights with varying number showing up. I had varying feed back. Tuesday night I found out math questions are bad.

The format of the night is a little different than other trivia. We have three rounds of ten questions. The first and last round are just general trivia questions while the second round is the media round where there will be a picture of a retro toy, or TV character, or maybe a video clip from a movie, TV show, or movie trailer, the question will be about what you just saw.

For anyone that is interested below are the round one and three questions. To see the answers highlight the blank section below the questions.

Round 1

1. Who played Batman in the 1960's Batman TV series?
2. What song was the first song to be played on KRock 105.5? It was also the #1 song on their top 105.5 song list played New Years Day 2007.
