Wow your mom with some Mother's Day Trivia
2011-05-08 19:35:00 Happy Mother's Day Chicago mamas! The history of Mother's Day:Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia supposedly came up with the idea as a way to honor her deceased mother. Jarvis and her friends began a letter writing campaign two years letter to create a Mother's Day observance. They got their wish and Mother's Day became a national holiday. It became so popular, that Jarvis opposed the commercialization of the holiday. Unlike her letter campaign, her protests were futile and Mother's Day is the third most celebrated holiday behind Christmas and Easter.

Number trivia: 40, 41, & 42
2010-10-21 17:24:00 Today is the first installment of what I hope to be a regular trivia feature. The inspiration will be the number of that week's puzzle. Today, to catch up, I'll cover numbers 40, 41 & 42, with extra attention given to the last one, because, well, it deserves it. 40 is the only number whose letters are in alphabetical order. 41 is how many cents you'll have if you have one of every common sub-dollar coin currently in US circulation. (Something every cashier already knows, as it's an easy move to pull one coin from every bucket in the drawer.) 42 is the only number retired by the entirety of Major League Baseball, in order to honor its wearer, Jackie...

trivia night at alejandro's
2010-10-12 18:12:00 Alejandro's Filipino Resto amazingly transforms into a buzzling geeky party during the middle of the week. After this unassuming restaurant launched an entertaining Trivia Night back in February, Wednesday evenings in Cebu City was never the same. Since then, the event has gained a growing patronage from the Mensa-grade intellectual elites, the everyday joes and the young professionals who want to indulge in a stress-free diversion while battling wits and common sense with everyone else. I must say that we belong to the latter crowd. It was then out of pure curiosity why my co-workers tried out the Trivia Night last month. We called ourselves "Jason's Bestfriends" which is a cheesy joke that is also fast becoming an urban legend in our group. We never reviewed any of our highschool lessons because the online reviews suggested that the questions are just about anything under the sun. True enough, no one could be really prepared for the random and sometimes quirky categories. Tha...
