Factropolis.com
Procastinator's GOLD!Factropolis.com is "an association of teachers, historians, scientists and researchers dedicated to eliminating the gaps in public knowledge. We dig up forgotten trivia, right historical wrongs, and answering readers questions."
The site is like a really nerdy version of Luiza Justus' "Trivialities"
Here are some interesting facts found on the site:
"Adolph Hitler played chess daily. He always played the white pieces, and insisted on being allowed to replace one of his bishops with a second queen."
and
"First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt was so convinced the White House was haunted that she kept a vial of holy water on her nightstand."
and
"Princess Diana had her navel pierced - and fitted with a 2.8-carat diamond stud - just a few hours before her fatal accident."
