I consider myself a sort of trivia buff. I know scads (yes, scads) of random factoids and I'm usually the ringer at any bar's trivia night (if anyone wants to start a monthly or bi-weekly game, let me know). So when two girls who sit near me at work were trying to figure out as many fast food chains as possible in a time crunch, I felt obligated to lend my expertise.
Only after completing the challenge did I ask why we were doing this. They then opened my eyes to Sporcle, a website filled with quiz games on every topic imaginable. Start off easy by trying to name all your 3 lettered body parts; then move on to naming European cities or Famous Simons. I concede, it seems a little stupid at first, but as an obscure knowledge junkie, I was soon captivated.
If you're bored at work, this just may be the site for you. I also have no doubt that multiple drinking games could be based around these games - enjoy!
We've been sporcling in the Los Angeles Clippers' offices since early June. As my main man big Rome would say, "ya'll need to step up yo game up." Congrats on finding Sporcle.com; I hope it treats you well and allows you to kill time when necessary.
