It's depressing to see how inactive it has been recently. I mean, everybody is pretty much primarily posting in the never ending thread now and there's not enough people here to make this place really booming. We need to find some way to bring more people here before this place just fades into nothingness...

I'm getting bored with the current threads so I thought I'd start up a Trivia thread and have members of the OT ask random trivia that they find across the interwebz. First person to answer correctly gets to ask the next trivia. Just pick a topic or fiction you enjoy and google some trivia on it.

What were the tendons of the worm in Dune (1984) made out of?

That's a stupid question and nobody would know it unless they looked it up. Which is why it's a stupid question. I didn't know this was a google-a-thon!

''Contrary to common legend, the bagel was not created in the shape of a stirrup to commemorate the victory of Poland's King Jan III Sobieski over the Ottoman Turks in the Battle of Vienna in 1683.[citation needed] It was actually invented much earlier in Kraków, Poland, as a competitor to the bublik, a lean bread of wheat flour designed for Lent. Leo Rosten wrote in "The Joys of Yiddish" about the first known mention of the word bajgiel in the "Community Regulations" of the city of Kraków in 1610, which stated that the item was given as a gift to women in childbirth.[6] In the 16th and first half of the 17th centuries, the bajgiel became a staple of the Polish national diet,[7] and a staple of the Slavic diet generally.[8]''
