Mental Floss is a great magazine full of what I love most: useless trivia. I strongly suggest you check it out if you want the tiny tidbits of knowledge that will impress/enrage your friends at parties but will serve no useful purpose in life. The magazine, known as "The Floss" to those in the know, also has historical features that highlight some quirky facts from past. I found one such feature particularly interesting about drinking games of the past, you can check it out here.
Also on the historical front, I found this cool list of amazing coincidences in history. It's a tad long but it's worth the payoff - check it out here.
Don't you love idiosyncratic history?
