Going way back to may days as a Trivia Forum Host on AOL (back when they were excited that they broke the 100,000 subscriber barrier), every person I've known who runs trivia games knows this piece of information. Its utter lack of greater significance makes it almost the creme de la creme of stupid trivia.
Michael Nesmith has had a long and varied career (among other things, he was the executive producer for the cult film classic Repo Man), but is best known as one of the Monkees (aka The Pre-Fab Four). But what was Michael Nesmith's mother's claim to fame?
Betty Nesmith created the secretary's friend, Liquid Paper. She later sold the Liquid Paper company for $50 million dollars. Mike eventually inherited half of that, the other half went to finance a "think tank."
Now, aren't you glad you know that?

Re: Without even looking at your answer
I heard an interview on a local radio station with Mike Nesmith once, and the announcer said, "You know, I'm sorry, but I just have to ask this...." at which point Nesmith broke in and said "Yes, my mom invented Liquid Paper." He seemed amused by the whole thing.
