Hi y'all. Here's something where I just rant about random facts. If you're a fan of completely random and unasked-for trivia, stories, and general tidbits and epiphanies on everyday life, here's the place to be.
Y'alls can share yours too. This is mainly just a place for random… stuff. Because I don't care. :D

@murphysgirl

See, that's why this thread exists. To share random things like that. And also so I can learn more trivia and kick butt even more spectacularly at Jeopardy and Trivial Pursuit. >:3
