Did you ever remember some little (or not so little) fact because you thought they might ask it on Jeopardy or something? What?

Don't remember?  How about "20 million barrels per day."  The question is How many barrels of oil products does the USA consume every day. (Actually, I had to look it up, AGAIN).  Thank heaven, now I won't miss my chance to win big on Jeopardy.

    If it is useless and of no merit?  I  will remember it.  I loved Trivial Pursuit. Loved that game.

      That describes about 65% of my waking hours (and many of the sleeping ones). It's similar to my desire to turn in a wanted criminal after watching all those crime shows wherein viewers are asked to provide information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect.

    No, I do it too.  Sometimes I have my "Google List" with me. This post was edited by CallMeIshmael at September 7, 2019 10:45 PM MDT

    In a trial Lizzie Borden was acquitted of the murders of Abby and Andrew Borden. (She was officially found not guilty, even though many people believe she committed the crimes)

    Another ship was in sight of the "Titanic" as it floundered; it saw the Titanic's flares; but it chose to do nothing and sailed away (The "Californian')

    The first official disaster that Clara Barton's' "American Red Cross" team attended to was the May 31, 1889 Johnstown Pennsylvania Flood
