Trivial Pursuit

In digging through the Internets today, I found this little bit of.... well, trivia.

In medieval times, education was divided into 7 categories. Arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy (the sciences); logic, rhetoric, and grammer (liberal arts). The four sciences were known in Latin as the quadrivium, meaning the four ways. The group of 3 liberal arts studies were called the trivium. Anything learned on these subjects was trivial.

It's stuff like this that takes up the other 95% or my brain that I am not using.
