Book Description:
In this, the biggest volume of bizarre knowledge ever, seekers of unique trivia will find the answers to many fascinating questions. It includes every possible field, from astronomy to taxidermy, sculpture to sociology. The authors have scoured hundreds of public records, news reports, critical opinions, and statistics to cull the absurd, the great, and the not-so-wonderful from all walks of life. The findings are often humorous, occasionally appalling, sometimes downright strange—but always compelling.

"Reading the short fascinating items . . .is sort of like eating cashews. You intend merely to sample a few but end up consuming the entire volume." CHICAGO TRIBUNE
