Rules:

Do not spam.
Do not needlessly harass.
Do not deliberately pursue a political agenda.
Do not deliberately pursue a commercial agenda.

Guidelines:

Do speak freely.

The point of trivial discussion is to enjoy it - the fate of mankind does not rest on these comment threads, so feel free to go off into whichever tangents you might find interesting.

Do remain skeptical.

As should be self-evident, take everything with a grain of salt. This is the internet, and simply posting something that sounds somewhat probable doesn't make it true. Question claims and request sources.

Do cite your sources.

Given the previous statement, it is recommended that you cite a source when posting trivia. While it is not required, consistent quality posts will earn you the respect of the community, and whatever that brings about (read: karma.)

Legend:

Sign	Description
[✓]	Source cited, confirmed claim.
[?]	Source not cited, unconfirmed claim.
[X]	Claim proven wrong by reputable source.
