Most of my useless trivia is music related, but one of my favourite pieces of non-music trivia is that the owner of Sutter's farm in California where the gold was discovered that started the 49er Gold Rush was actually some relative of the Viking Sutters ... a great uncle or something like that. I read that in a hockey book a few years back. If forced to I could dig the title of the book out of my library, but my "library" is currently in boxes due to house renovations.
