Kurzbeschreibung
From the creators of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Book of Useless Information comes another enlightening, entertaining, and ultimately useless assortment of trivia.
If you find yourself transfixed by the most trivial of trivia, or mesmerized by the most minor of minutiae, The Useless Information Society's latest findings can satisfy your every need. This wide-ranging collection will fill every nook and cranny of your brain with information you'll surely never need, but will enjoy learning anyway!
Did you know...
- that penguins can jump six feet out of the water?
- that everyone is color-blind at birth?
Would you care to know...
- what the first meal eaten on the moon was?
- what country drinks the most Coca-Cola? (Hint: It's not the United States.)
In 1995, a secret society was formed comprising Britain's foremost thinkers, writers, and artists to trade and share in useless information (or, as founding member Keith Waterhouse, playwright and journalist, would have it, "totally bloody useless").

NOT for Children!!!
7. Januar 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
While the material in these books is lots of fun, this is not a book that should be left lying around where younger readers to get their hands on it.
There are various entries in unexpected parts of the books that touch on sexual acts, some of which are decidedly outside social norms (including references to urine and "water sports", insects and formicophilia); same-sex relations (both positive and negative statements); genitalia; fellatio; and more.
For kids in high school, this may be acceptable, depending on the maturity of the child, but this is certainly not a book that should be left where children in the lower grades can read it without supervision and adult guidance.

A fun book, great for irritating bar conversation. Really does have useful information presented in a humorous manner. Entertaining reading.

More useless fun!
2. November 2008
Did you know squirrels account for over 1 million trees planted per year because they forgot where they buried the nuts? If you like trivial information that is fascinating, this is the book! Purchase the other one as well. I love it as well as my students! There's always a chuckle to be heard when my students read it. I recommend it!
