Trivia

My mind is filled with all kinds of useless information. It makes my kids eyes roll when I launch into one of these verbal sidebars, but it does make me a reasonably entertaining conversationalist.

Here's one that I did not have stuffed in my cranium before today. But I saw something that made me wonder about it -- and god bless the interwebs:

What Sort of Tea Was Thrown into Boston Harbor?

"Labaree’s Table IV has the exact answer to my question above: the three tea ships at Boston contained 240 chests of Bohea, 15 of Congou, 10 of Souchong (all black teas), 60 of Singlo, and 15 of Hyson (both green teas)."
