Of Trivial Importance... The Ministry of Trivia is pleased to present the following selections of trivial and compulsory entertainment! Wade perilously into the world of the 19th Century and ask yourself the important questions:
- Why did the United States military import camels?
- Who won the Great Tea Race of 1866?
- Who is the worst poet of all time (other than this author, of course)?
- Who invented the fireman's pole and why?
- Why did a 19th Century Chinese man think he was the brother of Jesus Christ?
- And many more...
As is our responsibility, we have brought you the answers to these questions, to go with more questions for which we hope you have satisfying answers. And now without additional charge, we shall include the odd fact from the ministry's cabinet of curiosities to make your reading experience more satisfactory.
