I love trivia. When I was growing up my four brothers, my parents and I would call out "TRIVIA" then state some tidbit of information that we had just read or was related to the current topic of discussion.

If you have a piece of trivia for trivia lovers to enjoy, share it here!!

Make sure you share factual information though.

In a list of China's 50 largest cities, the smallest one has over 1.5 million people.
The second and third largest cities have a combined population equal to that of Canada's.

In a double rainbow, a second arc is seen outside the primary arc, and has the order of its colours reversed, with red on the inner side of the arc. This is caused by the light being reflected twice on the inside of the droplet before leaving it.

I have only witnessed them twice in my entire life and both times I was driving an unable to get a picture. 😏 That certainly is fascinating and the next time I will look for that feature. One thing for sure... Nature, NEVER ceases to amaze and awe. Thanks for that fact!

The sky between the two arcs is a little darker than the rest of the sky. This is called Alexander's Band, after Alexander of Afrodisias who described it around 200 BC.

I think I would not mind living in a place called Afrodisias myself.

50% of People are below average height (this is subtle...)
By kebmo [Ignore] 30,Jan,19 17:01 other posts 
I don't know about that. Some people ARE average height so they would be subtracted from the 100% that you start with. If 20% ARE average height you only have 80% that are not average.
By #578610 01,Feb,19 19:05
If half the people are shorter than the median hight, then the other half has to be taller than the median hight. This has nothing to do with how the median was calculated.
By #23212 31,Jan,19 21:47⤴
Actually not really. In English, 'average' usually is used for 'mean', which is NOT 'in the middle'. 'MEDIAN' is the 50% mark, but not necessarily 'the average'.

By kebmo [Ignore] 31,Jan,19 23:20 other posts  ⤴
Sinaff, average, mean, median, regardless, some people will fall exactly on the line leaving less than 100% to be less than or greater than that so to say that 50% are less than that is incorrect but I really didn't care to start with.
By #551482 04,Feb,19 16:37⤴
I bow humbly to your comment, median is of course correct. Average or mean, would not be representative of the "middle" height since the statistical distibution of height of People in the world may not be Gaussian. Very tall people such as Robert Wadlow (Guinness Book of Records 8ft 11,1 inches) while being nice and tall, do tend to have such an effect.

From 2017:
What countries have a negative population growth?
This means more deaths and emigration, or the leaving of a country, than births and immigration, or entering of a country. Examples of countries experiencing negative population growth include the Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Hungary, Japan, Italy, Bulgaria, and Greece.

John Wilkes Booth was the b r o t h e r of Edwin Booth, the most acclaimed actor of his day. Edwin just so happened to be Abraham Lincoln's favorite actor.
By kebmo [Ignore] 13,Oct,18 14:26 other posts 
And...Edwin Booth saved Abraham Lincoln's son, Robert, from serious injury or even death. The incident occurred on a train platform in Jersey City, New Jersey. The exact date of the incident is uncertain, but it is believed to have taken place in late 1864 or early 1865.

The Underground Railroad was a sec.ret network of abolitionists who helped African Americans escape from enslavement in the American South to free Northern states or to Canada. It was the largest anti-slavery freedom movement in North America, having brought between 30,000 and 40,000 fugitives to British North America (Canada).
By #562152 08,Oct,18 08:48
If you ask modern people in the USA, you'd be lucky to find someone that can tell you anything about the Underground Railroad. Most don't even know what it is. Those that do generally think that it was in place during the 10 to 15 yrs prior to the American Civil War. That's only a part of it's run. This **** network born to help slaves from the south of the USA reach the north, was in place, at least since the war for independence from England in the late 1700's

Steak trataré is finely chopped raw steak
By kebmo [Ignore] 24,Sep,18 21:53 other posts 
In the better restaurants, steak tartare is finely sliced beef served raw and is usually tenderloin.
--------------------------------------- added after 5 minutes

I just googled it and images and they all show ground beef. I have worked in two restaurants that serve it and both times it was sliced tenderloin.
By #562152 24,Sep,18 22:00
We are poor, tenderloin is too expensive
--------------------------------------- added after 2 minutes

Steak tartare is a meat dish made from raw ground meat. It is usually served with onions, capers, pepper and Worcestershire sauce, and other seasonings, often presented to the diner separately, to be added to taste. It is often served with a raw egg yolk, and often on rye bread
By #562152 24,Sep,18 22:07⤴
I suspect your dish was tenderloin, a much better cut

When I was a little girl I used to go home for lunch from school. My Mom would make me a tenderloin sandwich on French Baggett with home made French fries. It was delicious

When I was in Brussels my friend ordered steak tartare and received what he anticipated which was raw, sliced beef.
By kebmo [Ignore] 25,Sep,18 14:56 other posts 
Maybe it's a European vs American thing.
The end of the tenderloin was frozen and sliced very thin on the slicer and placed on the plate where it thawed before serving. Frozen meat is easier to slice very thin.
Eating raw ground beef with a raw egg in it is something that my mind would reject outright.
By bella! [Ignore] 25,Sep,18 15:03 other posts 
Well, there has been problems with beef and it seems more so with ground beef than with a, let's say, good steak. Try to go out and request a burger medium, medium rare or rare, it ain't going to happen.
By kebmo [Ignore] 25,Sep,18 19:59 other posts 
I worked in Banff Alberta for ten years in restaurants. We could always identify the American tourists when they ordered their burgers medium rare. We always declined because of the E.coli risk. Some of them got a bit overly vociferous about it but in the end their burger was well done or they ordered a steak done how they liked it.
By #562152 26,Sep,18 11:35
The 1938 edition of Larousse Gastronomique describes steak tartare as raw ground beef served with a raw egg yolk, without any mention of tartar sauce.

Leo, that's why we didn't serve medium rare burgers. Explaining e-coli to tourists that wanted their burgers medium rare was an ongoing exercise in futility.

I have never been able to eat it, same with prime rib. I can’t stand the sight of raw meat. Where I’m from there’s a particular cut called milanesa, I like to marinate it in mojo criollo and then grill them. So yummy.
By kebmo [Ignore] 28,Sep,18 21:19 other posts 
More Trivia: Milanesa is borrowed by South Americans from Italian cooking (Milan). The citrus juice in mojo criollo breaks down the meat fibres and makes the meat tender.
By #562152 28,Sep,18 21:23⤴
So,you like milanesa, thin steaks from bola or cañada? I bread it and fry it. Sometimes after light frying I cover them in tomato sauce,green olives, onion and artichoke hearts and cover that with mutzarella cheese and stick it in a 350* oven for 20 min. That is milanesa a la Napolitana

I had to Google mojo criollo and it comes back as being garlic sauce. Is that correct? Garlic is always good with beef!

Over the summer, I acquired a taste for vodka after I had a vodka and water while out to dinner. The brand I had was Deep Eddy and was lemon flavored. I have since purchased the Deep Eddy brand in lemon, grapefruit and peach. The grapefruit vodka is out of this world delicious paired with a grapefruit bellini
