Re [Quiz]Spill Some of the Useless Info Stored in Your Brain

Does this mean all my knowledge is useless?

If any useful knowledge creeps into a quiz, I'm sunk.

Re [Quiz]Spill Some of the Useless Info Stored in Your Brain

10,800 barrels of beer on a fully-stocked Dutch whaling ship. That's the useless knowledge I picked up from Moby Dick, which will never win me money on Jeopardy.

10,800 barrels of beer on the ship.
10,800 barrels of beer...

Nevermind. That would take a lifetime.

10,800?

I swear I saw that number appear tonight on "Lost."
