My favorite thing is irrelevant trivia the kind of thing that when you eventually get dementia you'll be ranting about and your grandkids won't know what the hell you are talking about and why. Here are my recent favorites Berry Berrenson Perkins is the wife of Anthony Perkins ( of Psycho fame) died on American Flight 11 in the September 11 attacks. My favorite Geography Trivia is that Africa is loving HUGE  Also the definition of a factoid a brief or trivial item of news or information. an assumption or speculation that is reported and repeated so often that it becomes accepted as fact And the origin of fact late 15th century: from Latin factum, neuter past participle of facere ‘do.’ The original sense was ‘an act or feat,’ later ‘bad deed, a crime,’ surviving in the phrase before (or after) the fact . The earliest of the current senses (‘truth, reality’) dates from the late 16th century. Please post only irrelevant information that will eventually be scribbled into my "truth notebook" when I am old

This seems like the place to put it, being somewhat obscure, and definitely trivial. Remember 'Flight of the Navigator'? Paul Rubens was the voice of the space ship. Kind of blew my mind for a few seconds.
