Trivia Almanac by Ken Jennings

(Publ – 2008)

This is a cute book of trivia. It is arranged by having questions for each day of the year. The answers are on a different page to give you time to think of what you want to guess. There are 531 pages. The questions cover all sort of subjects so anyone can find something of interest.

Interestng Site - Smithsonian Magazine

I found this site and thought it was full of great articles. Some of the titles offered were  -

- Stolen: How the Mona Lisa Became the World’s Most Famous Painting

- Food Like You've Never Seen Before

- Insects as a Food Source

The picture is of Shanghai dumpling soup from the Food Like You've Never Seen Before article.

Writing - Research Page of Interest - Pirates

I am working out some details for a book I am trying to write. I may tie in an old pirate to my story and found this reference page. It is really educational and fun to look at. It has an impressive list of pirates in a time line with lots of links to get more information.

If this is something you have an interest in, please check out this page. The picture of Blackbeard is from this site.
