78: Too Cool for School
Category: Games & Hobbies
Duration: 00:50:50
Publish Date: 2013-09-10 21:17:29
Description:

Prepare your face for some eyebrow-raising and completely bonkers trivia about school: the odd history behind the classic No. 2 yellow pencil (WHY IS IT NUMBER TWO? WHY IS IT YELLOW? THE WORLD MUST KNOW!), the surreal and the bedazzled things rival colleges fight for, celebrities who used to be teachers, and the impact Minnesota had on videogames. And where did the phrase "freshman fifteen" come from? And are *YOU* smarter than a 1895 eighth grader?

ALSO: 1960's Jeopardy!, listener questions, prep school movie quiz
