Last week I went to Trivia Night at the Cyber Cafe in Johnson City, NY, only to be thoroughly embarrassed by my team's un-trivial knowledge. Every time I go to these events I feel confident that I know more than the average person (a fact which I'm standing by), but by the end of the night I'm bitter as all hell and almost thankful that I don't have a ridiculous ability to memorize pointless information.
One of the worst questions of the night came in Round 3 when the announcer asked something about the animated movie Up. I was initially confident that I'd score some points because I had just seen the movie. Yet the question was absolutely absurd and I don't know how anyone guessed it: "In the movie Up, the two main characters want to fly to south america to see the falls of their dreams. On the plane tickets that the husband buys, what are the seat assignment numbers?"
WHATTT. THEY SHOWED THOSE TICKETS FOR LESS THAN A HALF OF A SECOND.
cyber cafe, never again.
