The crowned king of inconsequential, miscellaneous factoids
Rick Spence, former editor and publisher of Profit magazine, cleaned up on a recent CBC trivia challenge program called Test the Nation. Not only did his team, made up of bloggers, win the entire competition (scoring an average of 50 out of 60 by knowing more about 21st century trivia than anyone else) he won a cup for highest individual score (57 out of 60).Spence, who runs his own consultancy now, and publishes an excellent blog called Canadian Entrepreneur, obviously indulges (with his entire team) in the same kinds of work-avoiding indiscriminate reading as the rest of us; a perfect training regimen for such a competition.

Thanks for the plug, DB. I think.
I have a great idea for a team for the next round of Test the Nation: Fact-checkers!
Rick
The headline was tongue in cheek, in case you were wondering! Agreed about the fact-checkers, but the moderator would have to spend five minutes explaining to the public who these mysterious people are. At least you don't have to define what a blogger is.
