Trivia Tuesday -- 24 July 2012

And up next we have Trivia Tuesday. 

I love love love going to Trivia Tuesday at a local restaurant (I'm sure the $1 margaritas play a role in this), so I thought I'd share some of the things that I've learned during these things ;)

1. On this day in 1874, Brigham Young leads his followers into the Salk Lake Valley, resulting in the establishment of Salt Lake City.
2. Confucius started out as a corn inspector.
3. Colorado is the only state in history to have turned down hosting the Olympics.
4. There are 18 different animals represented in animal crackers (now can you tell me what they are...?)
5. A fathom is 6 feet. 
6. There is a city named Rome on every continent. 
7. There are more TV sets in the UK than there are people. 
8. "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" uses every letter in the alphabet.
9. The highest paved road in North America is the one leading to Mt Evans in Colorado. It reaches 14,258 feet above sea level!
10. The electric chair was invented by a dentist (makes soooo much sense!)

Know a random fact the world should know by reading Trivia Tuesday? 

Let me know in the comments section!
