It is oft said that forgetfulness is the first sign of ageing. We cannot stop the process but, perhaps, we can try to slow it. So, after much egging here is a thread to test our mamm – oops, not again (another sign of ageing) – test out memories or otherwise gain that knowledge our parents and teachers told us were unimportant and wouldn’t get us anywhere. Now is a time to find out how sweet that forbidden fruit is and have a good giggle at how little we know because we had allowed the good life to pass us by.<\/p>\n
So move that cursor over your hippocampus (the hard disk in your brain, for the technology savvy), click out those trivia questions and put out the challenge: “So, you didn’t know this did you … smart-a***?”<\/p>\n
Okay, so you take pride in not wasting your youth with trivia. Well, show us that you are indeed a real smart-a*** and answer the questions posed here!<\/p>\n
Please also participate even if you are genuinely seeking answers. Example, a tune keeps going through your head and you are dying to know the title of the song. You may want to ask the title for the song with the lyrics:<\/p>\n
"Stepped into a church I passed along the way\/I get down on my knees and I pretend to pray"<\/p>\n
Also, you may not want to ask the question, but just want to share some trivia information like: <\/p>\n
Cat Stevens, who had a big hit with "Morning Has Broken", has embraced Islam and now goes by the name Yusuf Islam.<\/p>\n
But do keep questions as trivial as possible – we’ve all got this far in life because we’ve passed the “other” intelligence tests already. And for starters, we’ll stick with trivia pertaining to music and films.<\/p>\n
So, ready … set … let the fun begin!<\/p>\n
