A Daily FAQ

What is A Daily Fact?
There’s a colossal clue in the name. Every day (except Saturdays and Sundays), a fact will be posted on this blog.

About what?
Anything and everything. This is a monument to no-holds-barred, red-hot, trivia action. So expect anything from Obscure Farming Practices In Fiji to Tom Selleck’s middle name (William, in case you were wondering).

What good are such facts to me? I work in middle management for a consultancy company.
Then such facts are of especial value to you. You can wheel them out in conversation and people will think you’re an enigmatic, widely-read, renaissance man (or woman). As opposed to a faceless corporate lackey with all the personality of Microsoft Excel.

Can I submit a fact?
Naturally. You can email them to us at adailyfact AT gmail DOT com. However, we might not use your fact (especially if you’ve cribbed it off one of those rubbish ‘200 AMAZING FACTS!!!’ websites. We already know the one about the guy who played Bugs Bunny, thanks). Be original, be reasonably brief, and don’t regurgitate extensive tranches of Wikipedia.
Also, be aware that - if we do use your fact - we’ll probably rewrite it to our liking.

Why?
Because it gives us a thrill. And because we like having a consistent house style.

Is there an email list for A Daily Fact?
Nein. Not at the moment anyway. But you can subscribe to our RSS feed here.
