This book not only contains an entertainment factor, but it is pretty educational. Skimming through this book you discover things you most likely didn’t know. ..
A pig always sleeps on its right side.
Giraffes have no vocal cords.
You’re more likely to be attacked by a cow than a shark.
Some of the information in the book makes you wonder if it’s really the truth or not. Either way it is a fun page turner that will strike up some conversation. However, it does have some comm...more

What a riot -- somebody or more than one somebody has way too much time on their hands! Here are some of the completely useless pieces of information that you, too can learn from reading this book:
Margaret Hamilton, the Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz was once a kindergarten teacher.
Sean Connery once worked as a coffin polisher.
Shirley Temple always had 56 curls in her hair.
A pig always sleeps on its right side.

Full Of the best information I've ever read! The information is awesome, hilarious, and not completely useless because one day I might need to know that peanuts are one of the ingredients of dynamite, or that giraffes have no vocal cords!
More of the same with the first book, but seriously people, useless information is awesome.
For instance, 7-UP is named that because it had seven ingredients and the bubbles in it go UP. Crazy.

some of the info was wrong but it was really entertaining.
All of these are terrific!
A fun, enjoyable light read.
FUNNY
It shouldn't matter that I read them out of order. Even though this one still has a superflous section of quotes, it stands on its own as being better than the third one. Much in the tradition of the original, this volume offers up more useless info that is at the same time witty, disturbing, and funny. I recommend it to anyone with a sense of humor-and room for a lot more knowledge.
even more info that may or may not be completely factually accurate, but still lots of fun. i don't know who the people are that put together these books, but i do know that they have too much time on their hands...

I LOVE crazy whacked out little facts and this book is filled with them. I think this is a perfect little book to sit on the back of your toilet and a wonderful way to perk up your day.
What is there not to love about this topic?
