Donkey shin!

I like PBS documentaries. I can’t recall if “The bat man of Mexico” was a NOVA episode or a one of (I checked, it was a Nature episode- https://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/about-bat-man-mexico/25220/), but I’m pretty sure that’s where I learned that bit of useless trivia. He tracked the bats by making their poop glow!

I am completely useless for remembering people’s names, and barely hit and miss with dates, but useless information sticks OK.

Read the title, immediately thought "well, it would have to be the lunar cycle, wouldn't it?" Watched the video and... yeah, seems likely to be the lunar cycle. Some good bar trivia learnings to be had here though, I suspect!

Awesomely *obscure but oddly important internationally.
*promote *quality geography trivia

Of useless trivia? Shoulda been. ;-)

I went to California Jr colleges for over 10 years with no real direction because they're cheap and I like to learn stuff.

$415? I've made way more than that playing pong and trivia in pubs.

Bonus points for some excellent trivia.

Well it is an electric train... I did mean to put the info into the description, but only put it in the tags.

The train is a Siemens Taurus, ES 64 U2. According to Jimbo's big bag'o'trivia, it has a top speed of 230 km/h, although there is a really similar model which proved itself quite a bit faster at 357 km/h in testing prior to delivery. It also says it has a quill drive, but I'm not really sure what that means or why it would reduce track forces.

Trivia:

Everyone's missing a key point here: The reason this is so great is it isn't a refrigerator; it's a cold pantry.

That should clarify what's happened in the last 60 years: just like with DVD and VHS, these things were pushed off the market by Big Pantry. Why spend a ton on a cold pantry when you can have a room-temperature pantry at 2/3 the price, amirite?

Trivia:

While not exactly proven (correlation is not causation), the wide spread introduction of refrigeration for food storage probably was the reason behind the gross decline of GI Cancer as a major source of death before the 1930s...

"Until the late 1930s, stomach cancer was the leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Now, stomach cancer is well down on this list. The reasons for this decline are not completely known, but may be linked to increased use of refrigeration for food storage. This made fresh fruits and vegetables more available and decreased the use of salted and smoked foods. Some doctors think the decline may also be linked to the frequent use of antibiotics to treat infections. Antibiotics can kill the bacteria called Helicobacter pylori (H pylori), which is thought to be a major cause of stomach cancer."

American Cancer Society...

The mechanism appears to have been the move away from pickling/smoking...and towards fruits/vegetables/etc which an in-home refrigerator let you use...

That's a fan theory that explains why James Bond isn't the same guy all the time (Connery, Brosnan, Moore etc.) and kept spying around from the late 60's until now. The idea is that 'James Bond' is a cover identity used by various Agents of MI-6. This would allow for a black Bond but it isn't canon at all. That's why the Craig Bonds rebooted the franchise to allow the reuse of characters (Blofeld) and storylines (Vesper Lind vs. Tracy Bond).
007 is James Bond. The Producers are very protective in regards to this. However, the other 00-agents are pretty much non-existant in the franchise. They showed up in 'From Russia With Love' in a short meeting scene (sans dialogue), 009 died in the first 5 minutes of Octopussy (sans dialogue). The notable exception is Alec Trevelyan played by Sean Bean (I think he was 006), the villian from 'GoldenEye'. You could ague that Javier Bradem's Silva from 'Skyfall' must've been a 00-Agent but it is AFAIK not confirmed. Oh, and another 00-Agent was mentioned in 'Spectre'.
The reason Bond was made a scott was because Fleming like Connery's portrayal so much even though he was against casting him in the beginning. Bond's heritage is a minor plot point (more of a trivia item actually) in 'OHMSS' and a major plot point in 'Skyfall' (the name of Bond's family home).
As I said, gender-swapping Bond is much easier.

He's doing a game show. A celeb trivia thing.

I have tried watching it, but I can't.
