A collection of 159 random tidbits of trivia. No particular subject set or theme. So enjoy!
I, as well as the original list compiler state that the facts have been checked to some degree (if at all) so the validity of all of them is suspect as well as completely open to change and new discovery. That being said however it still makes a great conversation piece even if just to discuss and show the debunked myth or common misconception.

182 foods for thought and groaners
A great collection of one-liners, groaners, parables and general food for thought paragraphs. The general philosophical inclinations varies quite wildly from cosmic pondering inducing to groan worthy lines worthy of an old joke book. None the less it's a great collection.

Confuse your brain with these Optical Illusions!
The brain can be an amazing thing. Able to take in, comprehend and find a solution at super quick speeds whenever it receives a message from our body that there is a problem to be solved.
While indeed being a sophisticated organ in it's own right, it's naive to assume that our cerebral cpu has infinite power.
The reason it performs so well is partly down to it's vast and intricate memory system. The things that we perceive are taken in, processed, sorted, filed and the junk discarded. See your brain filters out a lot of duplicate sights and sounds and focuses on whatever you might have your attention on. The main subject matter of your memories go through a long and complex cataloguing system for use later.

Sudoku - The Hottest Puzzle Craze Since Rubik's Cube
by Jacqui O'Brien

Since it first appeared in The Times in late 2004 its popularity has grow so that it appears in most UK newspapers and has spread to countries from India to Canada, Australia to South Africa.
So what is Sudoku all about? Sudoku is played on a nine by nine grid which is divided into nine smaller squares. The object of the puzzle is to fill in the digits from 1 to 9 so that it appears only once in each column, row and small three by three square. You are given some of the numbers and you have to use logic and deduction to find the position of the other numbers.

Riddles II
Another set of riddles to get your logic working! :)
The solutions are within the asterisks, just highlight them to see if you're right.
Check out my Megapost of over 220 riddles here: http://braintaming.blogspot.com/2014/03/over-220-riddles-and-brainteasers-to.html
Bulbs
There are three switches downstairs. Each corresponds to one of the three light bulbs in the attic. You can turn the switches on and off and leave them in any position.
How would you identify which switch corresponds to which light bulb, if you are only allowed one trip upstairs?
*Keep the first bulb switched on for a few minutes. It gets warm, right? So all you have to do then is ... switch it off, switch another one on, walk into the room with bulbs, touch them and tell which one was switched on as the first one (the warm one) and the others can be easily identified *
