Trolls

So, friday night, I happened to be playing Trivial Persuit 90's with my friend Dave. At one point in the game, I landed on the yellow space which was computers and technology and I was thinking....great my favorite subject (sarcasm). Not to mention it was a question from 1990 and I was about 2 years old at the time but hey, lets give it a shot right?
The question: "What term did internet users borrow from angling to indicate a person who goes fishing for trouble?"

Then I remembered earlier in the day, in class, Dr. Jerz was talking about people causing trouble on the internet and they call them trolls. So as my brain was churning memory, Dave was laughing and claiming I would never get the answer and he would win (he only needed one more color). So I squinted my eyes to challenge him and replied, "troll."
I wish someone else could have just seen his face.
And people say I don't pay attention in class....EVER
and random off-topic trivia IS useful
