Trevor Trevolta Triverton III (born February 23, 1966 O.S., December 31, 1899 N.S.), known mononymously as Trivia, was perhaps the most trivial person who ever lived, whose entire life story, personality, favorite snack treats, etc., can be easily encompassed by a set of "fun facts", odd and occasionally semi-ironic coincidences, and obscure cultural references. He has appeared three times on the popular game show Jeopardy!, each time failing to earn a single dollar.

Early Years

As a irrelevant sidenote, "Early Years" is a fictional historical time period in the "Star Fleet Universe".

Trivia was born on February 23, 1966, (or December 31, 1899, see Trivia § Birth Date Controversy)on the same exact day that a military coup in Syria replaced the previous government, which is of note because Trivia's third cousin nine times removed, Muhammad al-hujjah, fought and died in the same conflict, in the National Museum of Roller Skating in Lincoln, Nebraska, the only roller skating museum in the world. His first word was "me", which was in fact the last word of both Richard Halliburton and Georg Friedrich Wilhelm Hegel. Unlike most babies, Trivia was never once put in a diaper, having trained himself to go potty all by himself almost upon birth.

Trivia showed an affinity for trivia games and quizzes from a young age. He was the youngest person at the age of six to win The National Trivia Quiz Contest - 23 years after the last National Trivia Quiz Contest was held. Despite his success in the trivia field, he was not nicknamed "Trivia" in reference to this, but rather was nicknamed after the Roman goddess of the night and crossroads, Trivia.

Unfortunately, Trivia's triviaing was soon cut short, due to a wacky outdated law in his home state of Nebraska that states that no one may mispronounce the state name as "Neh-bar-ski", which is defined as Witchcraft under The Witchcraft Act of 1723 and punishable by a week at the stocks. Ironically, he mispronounced the word intentionally while answering a trivia question related about unusual Nebraskan laws. Due to his being held at the somewhat underused stocks while local lawmakers removed that stupid law, he was kept from entering The International Trivia Quiz Contest, an annual trivia game accidentally founded by Friedrich Nietzsche, a man who personally and deeply hated games.

These two men had an on and off relationship for the remainder of their lives after Trivia's retirement, similar to Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, who both died on July 4, which is the same date that both Trivia and Nietzsche disappeared on. (July 4, 1976).

Birth Date Controversy

Despite having always been perceived as being born in 1966 due to the fact that he did not appear to be "advanced in years" (as one scholar put it) during his appearances on Jepoardy!, his birth certificate, or perhaps his entire young babychild self, was likely swapped for a then 66-year-old man with an identical name and/or parents. Spotty records do not tell us which date was his actual birth date, and any and all evidence claiming to prove one date over the other has been struck down ferociously within the scientific community.

Disappearance

It has been suspected that long-time friend and mentor to Trivia, John Wilkes Booth, may have shot Trivia in the back of the head. Strangely enough, Trivia's son Lil T "Robert Todd" Four had been saved from sure death by Booth's brother Edwin not long before this, directly paralleling incidents surrounding Abraham Lincoln's life.

Another theory is that the museum he entered was simply inescapable, while others believe he wakes up every morning to the same radio host letting everyone know that it is the Fourth of July and that fireworks don't have shadows you silly goose. Before this incident, Fourth of July festivities had only drawn small crowds in the town of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. The widely publicized mystery surrounding Trivia/s disappearance significantly boosted participation in this holiday however.

Trivia

For information so irrelevant that it doesn't even pertain to the rest of his life.
