Useless Knowledge: Answers to Questions You'd Never Think to Ask

Useless Knowledge: Answers to Questions You'd Never Think to Ask

by David Samson (Author), JoeEdelman (Author)

Synopsis

A brainchild of the wildly successful www.uselessknowledge.com, this trivia book has already gained legions of fans before it even hits the shelves. Looking like a course catalogue, USELESS KNOWLEDGE offers to replace all that important stuff it's taken years to accumulate with a ton of amusing and nonsensical titbits. For hardcore or casual trivia buffs, it includes topics and entries like: * Animals: The sound a camel makes is called nuzzing . * Film: Warren Beatty's first job in theatre was a rat-catcher...backstage. * History: Not that he was immature, but Napoleon concocted his battle strategies in a sandbox. The Useless-Schools of Anthropology, Biology, Geography, Music, Sports and Television are also covered.
