Do you have a brain full of completely random knowledge? Do you know facts and information that provide absolutely no use to your daily comings and goings? Well time to put it to use. Trivia time.

I'll ask a trivia question, any topic, and someone answer it and come up with your own question, again, any topic. Don't make it too obscure, or the thread will die. Try not to Google/Wikipedia it straight away, give people a chance to show off the extent of their pointless brainpower.

December 1980. There was nothing published over the Christmas holidays so the record that was number one at the time was never officially recorded as such (just don't ask me what that record was).

Why, according to legend, did Romulus kill Remus?
meTalmessiah

Isn't it because they both wanted the capital of what would be the Roman Empire to be named after themselves? Heh, if Remus had killed Romulus, would Rome have been Reme?

It probably would have been called Reme, but as I learned in my European History Class, Romulus killed Remus because Remus made fun of a wall that Romulus built. Talk about brotherly love.

meTalmessiah, you need to post a new question because apparently nobody is reading the thread, or nobody knows the answer.

How much does a bootleg 360 game cost? And how is the quality?
Gevsolution

About as much as Uncle Sam says you should pay (I am assuming that by "bootleg" you meant "prepackaged and sold directly from the game developers through your local Walmart so that you can pick it up while you shop for groceries and other household needs at Everyday Low Prices" because anything else would be unAmerican.). The quality? Patriotic.
