Very interesting :) I like random trivia. I like to look up the trivia for movies I'm watching on imdb. You find out a lot of interesting things about the movies and actors in it.

Really enjoyed your trivia post! I particularly liked the one about Lexington, Kentucky having a law against people carrying an ice cream cone in their pocket. Who carries ice cream cones in their pocket?  ;D :)
