Trivia Tuesday

I was listening to the radio the other day and they had a segment called "Bottle cap trivia" and I thought that there's so many useless information out there that people absorb on a daily basis, and for some reason people love learning new tidbits of trivia. So, I'll be dedicating Tuesdays to scouring the globe (well, actually the internet) in search of new pieces of juicy information.

Today's trivia is dedicated to writing... I just thought that would be something interesting.

• Did you know over 550,000 books were published last year (that's over 20,000 a day) 
• The most common used word in the English language is 'The'... see, I used it twice
• The paperback version of 'New Moon' by Stephenie Myer was the best-selling book of 2009 

So,  did you find any of these interesting? What other pieces of trivia would you like to find out? I'm sure with the magical means of Google I can find out anything.
