Excellent group of facts my friend. I will see what if anything I can do to help you're crusade to prepare people for trivial pursuit.

Did you actually count the ridges to be sure?

Thanks for the info, I'll quiz my brother in-law (who knows tons of useless facts) over the holiday's to see how many he knows.
