Site of the Day for Friday, June 11, 2004
Trivial Waste of Time
Today's site offers an engaging way to while away a warm summer day. Gentle
Subscribers who enjoy the utterly useless will find mountains of delightful
trivia to savor.
"Why TRIVIAL Waste of Time? Well, Why NOT? Finally a web site that admits
it is of no redeeming value whatsoever. But who knows? Question and answer
games are good for building intuitive skills and teaching what we used to
refer to as 'tangential' (i.e. useless) information. You might even
discover that you have latent knowledge." - from the website
The site presents its collection of over 1500 little gems in the form of
questions and answers. For those who find specific topics absolutely
riveting, there are categories on biographies, entertainment, movies,
geography, literature, music, science and nature, technology, sports and
the always popular "random".
Oddly enough, the direct URL to the page was not able to be accessed by
either the most widely used browser nor by a Mozilla derivative.
Apparently, it is necessary to go to the index home page, scroll down to
the "Games" section on the left and click on the "Trivial Waste of Time"
link, which will waste even more time.
Wander over to the site index and amble along to the specific page for a
diverting stroll through pleasant fields of trivia at:
