Villagers in China have long been using dinosaur bones in medicine and soups, thinking they were from dragons…
(Huge sigh, wait, this is an interesting fact!) The first use of the word dinosaur was in 1841, created by two Greek words, together meaning terrible lizard.
Before that, the word dragon was used. Dragons, such as behemoth and leviathan, are mentioned in the Bible, especially in the book of Job. They also feature in Chinese culture, and remain a part of their calendar. Legendary dragons are recounted in many cultures all over the world.
Otherwise, except for the obvious unsubstantiated details, where things like the age of the earth is mentioned, this isn’t a terrible bathroom read.
As a self confessed trivialist and Quiz Master, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I particularly liked exploring some of the facts even further online. Thank you for putting together such a treasure trove of trivia, I loved it!

I have read other collections of facts/ trivia but this collection had only a few duplications of from the others I’d read. A very good job and well worth the time to read.
