What is something you know more about than any of your friends?

What is something you know more about than any of your friends?
Just finished Uncle John’s Actual and Factual Bathroom Reader. This is the 31st installment of the trivia franchise, of which I’ve read at least half. (I’m gifted the new edition by my mother each Christmas.) At the bottom of each page sits a bite-sized factoid such as:
Only two actors to receive Oscar nominations in every decade from the 1960s through the 2000s: Jack Nicholson and Michael Caine.
That’s an actual piece of factual trivia.
No U.S. coin shows its denomination in numeral form.
A fact we’ve likely all noticed, just never consciously recognized.
Over your lifetime, your mouth will make enough saliva to fill two swimming pools.
There’s way too many of these “facts.” A child with Sjogren’s syndrome, dying at 12, will produce far less saliva than an excessively drooling supercentenarian. Still, both cases can be true: the youngster might fill a couple kiddie pools, while two Olympic pools may overflow after 110 years. Even discounting these caveated “facts,” I probably know more informational tidbits than any of my friends. And I have complaints about every last one of ‘em.
Q&complAints #100 finished.
Infinite to go.
