Talk:Crossroads

I always believed the word trivia (three roads) came from the seven subjects taught in ancient Roman schools (and I can't for the life of me remember what those subjects were, but I'm sure there's some expert out there who can put me straight...). These were divided into the quadrivium ("four roads") and the trivium ("three roads"). Because the quadrivium was considered the most important part of the course, anything that was not considered important was referred to as "trivial". See? Nothing to do with Crossroads at all, although Crossroads was a trivial soap opera.
