One of my monkers
is "The King of Useless Trivia"I have so much stupid, useless, inconsequential crap stuck in my brain:
What is the official name for Paraplegic Rugby?*
Did you know what the first official Gold Album was?**
What are Merlin's "Words of Power" in the film Excaliber?***
My brain is so full of this sort of ridiculous crap that it crowds out the stuff I need.
*it's called Murderball. No shit. Teams of four ram their wheelchairs against opponents while trying to carry a ball across the end of a basketball-sized court. Players must dribble the ball every 10 seconds. If the player's chair is stopped or overturned, the player must pass the ball to a teammate. Players are ranked by the amount of paralysis they suffer from, on a .5-ranked scale of 1 to 3, and teams must keep at least 8 points-worth of players on the floor at all times.
