Here you will learn a few things that you never knew about Mark Twain or that you never knew at all.

Mark Twain is known for his satirical writing, but little is known about his obsession with snookers.  Twain would engage in a mesmerizing game of snookers after writing a chapter or two of Huckleberry Finn.
 
Contrary to popular belief in Mrs. Annette Arce's AP English 3 in El Paso, Texas at Chapin High School in room C246, Mark Twain loved to play snookers in his spare time.  Snookers is not related to "snickers," as some would have you believe.  Instead, it is actually all the rage in China as well as in America today.  The Chinese fell in love with the game after learning that Mark Twain played it.
