The name Mercury has gotten attached to a lot of things--an element, a car company, a WNBA team--but the OG is the planet closest to the sun, named after the Roman god. This hot, barren, lifeless (or so we think) world may not seem like it' has much going for it, but it's secretly fascinating. CONTENT WARNING: If you're a planetary scientist who had something to do with booting Pluto, this will be an uncomfortable five minutes for you. WWW.5MINUTETRIVIA.COM

Five Minute Lit: The Odyssey
The Odyssey has been called the greatest work of literature ever written. Which is pretty remarkable because we know nothing about the guy who wrote it. Or even if he exists. Also, it's the rare sequel that's better remembered than the original. The Odyssey has everything: adventure, conquest, hubris, revenge, romance...wait, did you say romance? Yeah. Like we said. Everything. WWW.5MINUTETRIVIA.COM

Area 51
Area 51 is likely the most famous place in the world that you're not supposed to know about. It's part of countless alien movies, conspiracy theories, and often some combination of both. So what is it? Where is it? What really goes on there? And why doesn't it just have a normal name (hint: it does)? We're taking all that on in this show. WWW.5MINUTETRIVIA.COM
