I did better than you did.  I got 8 of them right.  You might think that we tied, but that's because you got so many wrong first.

It's a little scary the amount of random trivia I've accumulated over the years. What I can't figure out is why I remember it all instead of the important stuff ???.

Brucer, you never know when you will use trivial little bits of information that you store in the back corners of your mind.  Here is a little story that I told to my Brother, cousins, a few of my dearest friends.  I figured that it would be entertaining, even though they might never use the information.  Living in BC, you would probably be one of the least to use it, but its some more trivia to keep you from wasting the corners of your brain.  Corners are hard to fill since information seems to come in circles.  The best the world has been able to do, until now, is put stuff in books, but books are rectangular and it's really difficult for them to get anything to fit.  They're selling CD's now that might work better, but they don't store very good and keep rolling off down the road.  In your head seems to be the best place to keep stuff.  Even if you can't use it, perhaps you will know someone, one day, who can.  :)

Can y'all name the Capitols of Georgia?   The Capital moved around a bit, through the years, and I had to learn from whence it came and to where it went, for a History test.   Here's how to do it.

You might not know it but there is a city in Georgia named Alma. If you didn't know it , you do now and won't forget it.

Savannah was the first Capital of Georgia though there never was a meeting house and the Capital was moved to Augusta.  Back and forth between Augusta and Savannah the Legislatures would go until Augusta finally claimed the position, because it had a Capitol.  Then, because Augusta was too far east, it was moved to Louisville, then to Milledgeville and finally to Atlanta.

Do you wonder how it's spelled?  No, I'm not asking you to spell "i-t".   A Capital is the city in which the legislature resides and a Capitol is the building that holds the Government.  Yes, a Capital has avenues.

We were told that, even though Savannah was the first Capital, it had no Capitol.  The first was in Augusta.

A.....Augusta
L......Louisville
M.....Milledgeville
A......Atlanta

.....................Alma, Georgia.

Now, even if there is an argument about Savannah's role in all of this, and an argument as to the spelling of the center of government, It was involved and explanatory enough that I could remember the cities.

Do you think that you will remember this information?

Remember -- it's going to take me a couple of days to even figure it out. I probably won't forget Alma though.

My former boss used a similar method to remember Lord Nelson's four major sea victories. I ain't gonna explain it here 'cause Jeff'd put me in the woodshed and throw away the key.
