khmer: you guys know where the word 'trivia' comes from?
trihedron: uh, no
khmer: it's extremely important information
trihedron: wait
trihedron: no, 'plural of trivium' doesn't explain anything
khmer: trihedron, actually it sort of does
khmer: the trivium was a place
khmer: right outside the roman senate
khmer: there was a place where three roads intersected
trihedron: oh, neat
trihedron: do go on
khmer: it was a fairly public place, and so the senators had sort of a system where they tried not to discuss matters of import once they had left the hallowed halls
khmer: and had entered the trivium
khmer: hence
trihedron: ah
trihedron: 'So, you stab him, then I'll stab him, then we'll all stab him, oh -- and, Brutus, you stab him last, and then, er -- AHEM, I mean, DID YOU KNOW THAT THE PEANUT IS NEITHER PEA NOR NUT!? AMAZING, ISN'T IT?'
