For the record, my standard answers are "Cambodia" and "Frank Sinatra" or "From Here to Eternity" (depending). There now exists a Canadian version but I've never played it. The US college football questions (among other things) on the original are totally brutal for anyone not from the US. [edit] I just thought of a word-related thing. The original version of Trivial Pursuit was called the "Genus" edition. EVERYONE I KNEW thought it said "Genius" because if you win, you're a genius. MAKES MY TEETH ITCH!!!!!!

Oh! Oh! I am hopeless at word games but have this quirk that lets me remember the oddest facts! Which is why I take this opportunity to brag about the time I won a game for my team by accurately remembering the opening words of the Declaration of Independence. (I had to just blurt it out as all other team members thought I was crazy!) The reason I remembered is that the Declaration was posted on the wall next to my desk in grammar school and being the compulsive reader I am .... In case you want to take a guess I put in this link to the Great Document. http://www.nara.gov/exhall/charters/declaration/declaration.html

as you might guess, i can be good at trival pursuit.. since i am filled with trivial bits of knowledge.
the first time i played.. zip, zip, zip.. i knew all the answers to everyone quetions.. and then came my turn, and i kept it up... but.. one of the catagories is sports.. and everyone i was playing with knew-- eventually, i would have to answer a sports question. and that would be the end of me..
the little wheel filled with color wedges.. and finally the time came. i would have to answer a sports question. the others i was playing with began to grin.. they knew when it comes to sports.. i know almost nothing..
The question came:
On which golf course do you have to cross a 13 century bridge to get to the XX hole?
well, none of the sport buffs i was playing with knew the answer.. so they were sure.. no way would i know..
I thought for a moment.. and answer came tripping off my lips.. St Andrews, of course. the 13 century bridge is a giveaway..
that was it. we never played trivial pursuit again. (well not that group!) and when ever the topic of sports trivia comes up.. I always have the same answers--it work well for me once..
