What's interesting about these facts and trivia lists is they often credit the source at the end of the list. These sources range from Encarta to "Axillary of Little Blue Haired Ladies."

As for "The Great Gorge", are we talking about continental US again? ;^)

Rant all you want, I'm beginning to enjoy your analysis more than the actual trivia lists.

7. In Idaho law forbids a citizen to give another citizen a box of candy that weighs more than 50 pounds.

Is that a rare law or is it unique?

That qualification would have worked.

The entry on Farnsworth isn't really incorrect, but if I hadn't hit it lucky with the gorge question, I'd have contextualized his invention. (Again, it should have qualified him as the father of electronic television.)
