J. Spencer was born in 1960 to a
poor white sharecropper in Illinois. At 12, she slipped
aboard a southbound freighter headed for Australia, where
she was further raised by a pack of wild dingoes. Naturally
curious and totally obsessed with the minor details of life,
she traveled to London to join the Royal Astronomical
Society to learn more of the world and the universe.
However, the RAS had a long-standing ban against allowing in
poor white sharecroppers half raised by wild dingoes, so she
instead camped outside counting the bricks making up the
snobby institution. This was a pivotal experience for her.
Finding there were exactly 17,431 bricks started her on her
lifelong quest for small details, amazing truths, and petty
coincidences. The Trivia Queen claimed her crown!
Since then, she has been roaming the world from the
Arctic to Tierra del Fuego, counting bricks, observing small
insects, and measuring the average number of grains in a
typical salt shaker. With such a vast storehouse of trivial
knowledge, she now embarks on a new quest: to share this
information with her fellow humans - stumping experts,
amazing laymen, and bringing wide-eyed blank stares to all
those around her.
J. Spencer spends her spare time serving as chairwoman
of the Associated Association of Associated Associations,
playing with spatulas, and conversing with ducks.
