You guys were good last night—aced multiple questions on Monday Night Trivia:
Whenever you do this, and you probably do this a lot, more than half a million people around the world are doing it at the exact second you do. Do what? Hit the spacebar on a computer keyboard. (It’s actually estimated to be 600,000 hits every 1/10th of a second. It’s the most used key on the board. 18% of all hits go to the space bar.)
Recorded history tells a sociological tale. World wide it’s common to find periods of feasts and famines, weather disasters and calm seas, but only 8% of the earth’s recorded history reveals periods of this. Of what? Peace worldwide. (92% of recorded history includes a war somewhere.)
These have been around forever but it wasn’t until the 1950s that the first electric one was sold. Electric what? Wheelchair. (1956. Invented by Herbert Everest & Harry Jennings, who also invented the first folding wheelchair in 1933.)
You didn’t do as well with Bumper Stumpers A to Z. We tackled the letter “K”. All the artists’ first names, or group names began with K.

Memorial Day themed trivia on Monday Night Trivia with Rollye James – 05.31.21
Lots of calls last night for Monday Night Trivia and all of them are appreciated.
We never got an answer to our trivia straggler from last week, but Rollye ran out of time before James could offer up his 370 guesses, so we’ll open with it next Monday, and if James (or you, if you call) doesn’t get it quickly, Rollye will reveal and move along.
As for Bumper Stumpers A to Z, we completed the letter “J” (group or artist first names beginning with “J”) and in the 2nd hour, offered some Memorial Day related ditties.

No one could guess our straggler. Can you? Monday Night Trivia with Rollye James – 06.14.21
Fun, as always playing Monday Night Trivia.
No one got the straggler from last week, so we revealed at the end of the show: In World War 2, it only happened to 1 in 50 soldiers. At the start of the gulf war it happened to 1 in 4. What happened? Death by friendly fire (Americans accidentally shooting fellow Americans).
As far as Bumper Stumpers A to Z, we were working on the letter “L”. All the artists’ first names or group names began with “L”. We’ll probably continue with L for next week.
