Trivial Pursuit

I have an almost insatiable thirst for all manner of knowledge, trivial or otherwise. But this ambitious pursuit does not stem from some divine quest in search of transcendent enrichment. Rather, my behavior is solely motivated by self preservation. The more I know, the more I can prepare. The better prepared I am, the lower the chance I'll fall flat and suffer an ego blow. And honestly as far as blows go, that's the worst.
