Hey there everyone! How are you guys? Anyway, I am done with my shift and I'll probably be leaving now but then again, I jsust want to share an unusual trivia:
"Are you girls aware that there has been a total of 112 trivias shared here overall including this trivia itself ever since this thread was founded by Liz?"
And did you know that the famous card game that me and Liz are hooked into right now called Magic:The Gathering is invented by Richard Garfield P.h.d a B.S. med graduate(If I remember correctly)?
I hope I was able to enlighten you! Take care and have a nice day!
Anyway, here's the complete list of the trivia's listed from the first page till this latest page.
TRIVIAS:
1. You could replace your sleeping pills with bananas. Sometimes it is even better. Bananas are rich in magnesium that induces relaxation until we fall asleep
2. The last thing to happen is the ultimate. The next-to-last is the penultimate, and the second-to-last is the antepenultimate.

6. a bee sting is acidic and a wasp sting is alkali. to treat a sting by one of these you should use the opposite type of chemical.
7. Thirteen is especially unlucky terms of dinner parties, referring back to the Last Supper or the Norse feast: it is believed that one of the thirteen diners will die within a year. But the fear exists in every occurrence of the number. Throughout the western world people can still be found numbering their houses '12 1/2,' to avoid living in number 13. The state lotteries of France, Italy, and elsewhere never sell tickets with that number. Hotels and hospitals, and similar institutions, often have no room numbered thirteen; and many big hotels, like the new Cavendish Hotel completed in London in 1966, also have no thirteenth floor. Fear is also aroused if the thirteenth of the month falls on a Friday--in itself a notoriously unlucky day, largely by association with Good Friday."

Additional info about your trivia (refresher course):
If a storm was to form in the Atlantic or eastern Pacific Ocean, we would call it a hurricane. So basically every storm that endangers the United States is a hurricane. In recent years, we have all become quit familiar with hurricanes and their powerful force.
A typhoon is generally any storm that begins in the Western Pacific. So a storm that threatens Japan or the islands of Guam or the Philippines is called a typhoon. Winds from a typhoon usually are stronger than a hurricane, however they endanger far less land area due to their locations.
Cyclones are storms that begin in the Southern Pacific. They only are generated west of 160 east Longitude. They are not as prevalent as hurricanes because of the cold water temperatures. Generally, water temperates must be over 80 degrees in order to be conducive to any storm.
