Trivia is not always trivial!

So there is a game called Trivial Pursuit that has been popular for years now.  Specialty Trivial Pursuit games have appeared that focus on a particular decade, show, movie or music genre and so on.....   So what's the deal with trivia and being able to answer those questions.  I don't know about you but I get a thrill out of being able to answer those questions correctly and not look like a complete moron.  haha   But if I am gonna claim that I am a fan of/student of/follower of whatever it may be, I should be able to answer certain questions.  Hope I'm doing okay with it, are you?
