In Praise of Trivial Pursuits

Well, I have good news for those who appreciate the allure of this icon of American culture. Those who are drawn to the pursuit of trivia, can take heart, as there is plenty of it in the Bible. And the allure of such trivia might just offer a cure for what ails us as a people.
