Trivia Tuesday

Well, it's another Tuesday and that means another lot of trivia. I love learning useless trivia and here's some more that most wouldn't know (and probably wouldn't even care about):

• The Guinness Book of Records holds the record for being the book most often stolen from public libraries.
• The average person's left hand does 56% of the typing.

And on a side note piece of trivia I'm pretty sure all of my posts starts with either "So" or "Well"... maybe I'll make it a challenge not to use those words through an entire post.

So,   what other pieces of trivia do you know, or what are some habits that you've noticed about your writing that seems to crop up in everything you write?

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.
