Mmm'k, so, just because I don't think we've had one before....
A random trivia game!
The rules are simple....Try to relate your trivia to the last person who posted!
For example....I might post "Did you know...Every month, approximately nine out of 10 American children visit a McDonald's restaurant?"
The next person after me might decide on a fast food trivia, and say "Did you know...During the early 1900s, the hamburger was thought to be polluted, unsafe to eat, and food for the poor. Street carts, not restaurants, typically served them?"
The person after THAT might then decide on a 1900's trivia, and post something like..."Did you know...That in 1900, Charlotte Cooper was the first woman to win an Olympic gold medal? (for tennis)"
The person after THAT....Well, you get the drift, I'm sure.
If you can't find a random fact somehow related to the post above yours (and thats pretty much impossible lol!) you can start a new chain....But try and keep the original one going, if you can!
This game is meant to be a trivia version of chinese whispers...Who knows where we'll end up? And hopefully, we might learn something new along the way |

So, I'll start with...
Did you know....
The largest number of children born to one woman is recorded at 69. From 1725-1765, a Russian peasant woman gave birth to 16 sets of twins, 7 sets of triplets, and 4 sets of quadruplets?
(that woman deserves a medal...In fact, I think she actually got one! ) |
