Congratulations to Absolute Trivia


Is your brain hungry? Head to Absolute Trivia, where trivia abounds. Self-dubbed the "Totally Trivia Search Engine," this site has organized more than 6,000 facts by subject, from animals to words. In moments, we learned that the names of the two stone lions in front of the New York Public Library are Patience and Fortitude, that Emma Nutt was the first female telephone operator and that the The Statue of Liberty's index finger is 8' long with a fingernail measuring 13" x 10". You'll find informational teasers sprinkled throughout the site, from random trivia tidbits to what happened on this day in history. The site is searchable by keyword, which may prove helpful when the judges are called in to resolve your next family debate.
