This is archive, storing all of my random facts of the day, a tradition that I made so that users could each day come and receive a small token of tickling trivia. The idea was inspired by Sp3000's userbox and its trivia. This page was made so that these may always be remembered. This 'tradition' was created on 01:10, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
