I’ve been scouring the internet for content for over a decade and my favorite pictures are still the ones that show me something new. Just when I think I’ve seen everything, an interesting picture comes along that teaches me a new fact or bit of trivia.
This month’s roundup is great. I learned a lot and now have a ton of new ammo for trivia night. I mean, really that’s why I love this stuff. It’s not like any of this info is super useful, except to own other teams in my hoarding of weird facts.
