May 2025 TRIVIA HINTS

Horses! 🐎 Am I right?!

Horses were first domesticated over 5,000 years ago in the Middle East! The Botai people in Kazakhstan are thought to be the first culture to ever integrate the use of horses into their daily lives. Signs of horses being used for hunting, herding, and even being used for their MILK goes back as early as 3500 BC! But in North America, horses had gone extinct! They weren't re-introduced until the late 1400s by Spanish conquistadors. Beginning in Mexico, these horses quickly adapted and multiplied in the grasslands, many escaping and becoming feral. The re-introduction of horses transformed life for many Native American tribes, particularly the buffalo-hunting tribes who found the horses to be invaluable. Now in the year 2025 horses are no longer a necessity, but more so for leisure and entertainment. We keep them as companions for pleasure riding and whispering secrets to. Or we place them in competitive sports such as Dressage, Show Jumping, and Reining. The most popular of the equine sports probably being The Kentucky Derby, where seven three-year-old horses run 1.25 miles in two minutes in order to proudly wear 554 roses! So let's don our Fancy Hats, grab our Mint Juleps, & Run for the Roses together! 🏇🏇🏇

January 2025 Trivia Hints!

National Trivia Day is on January 4th! It's a day to share interesting facts and enjoy learning new information! The origins of National Trivia Day can be traced back to the 1960s, when Columbia University students Ed Goodgold and Dan Carlinsky began trading questions and answers about popular culture. They later created the first quiz bowls where college students were able to battle their wits against other colleges! But the idea of trivia was popular even back in the early 1900s.The first book to be published based on trivia was “Trivialities: Bits of Information of Little Consequence” by British author Logan Pearsall Smith in 1902! Today we use the word “Trivia” to describe an idea that may be useless or of little importance, but the words trivial and trivia can be traced back to the Latin noun “trivium”, meaning "a place where three roads meet." The Latin word was made from tri-, meaning "three," and via meaning "way” or “road." . Now THAT’S a cool piece of TRIVIA!

December 2024 Name That Tune Hint #1

Some may remember the song “Bitter Sweet Symphony” by The Verve from its popularity in the late 1990s. What people may not know is that the song’s catchy intro was actually based on a sample of the Andrew Oldham Orchestra's 1965 orchestral version of the Rolling Stones song "The Last Time"! Just as the tune sounds, the song title “Bitter Sweet Symphony” is a metaphor for the human experience, which is filled with both bitter and sweet notes. The song's lyrics acknowledge the human capacity to adapt, evolve, or wear different masks in the face of life's complexities. Click the link below to listen to The Verve’s “Bitter Sweet Symphony”

December 2024 Trivia Hints!

The holidays are thick with unique traditions! Like in Caracas, Venezuela, residents don’t head to church in cars—but on roller skates! There are actually so many people who participate in this tradition that several city streets are closed on Christmas morning! Did you know, the origin of the “white elephant” gift exchange comes from the King of Siam! This king would give a rare white elephant to courtiers he disliked as punishment. The gift was beautiful, sacred, and very expensive to care for, but the recipient would have to smile and say they loved it! Though also celebrated at the end of the year, Kwanzaa has no relation to Christmas. This African-American holiday celebrates unity by lighting a “Kinara” each night which holds 7 candles indicating Unity, Self-Determination, Community, Cooperative Economics, Purpose, Creativity, and Faith! Cool stuff to know! Enjoy the Holidays!

Have you ever noticed how certain songs sound alike? Take for instance “Changes in Latitude” by Jimmy Buffett and “Divers Do It Deeper” by David Allan Coe. Both were released around the same time in 1977, and both were written by their respective musicians. Yet both men claim the other stole their sound! It may be a mystery lost to time, so we might as well enjoy both! Click the link below to listen to David Allan Coe’s “Divers Do It Deeper”

Sometimes pretty cool stuff comes from making a mistake! Joe Jonas of DNCE said the title of “Cake by the Ocean” came from a silly mistake while in the studio.
