Jump-start any conversation with this collection of over 350 fascinating, little-known facts. Hand-drawn speech bubbles and a charming conversationalist add personality to memorable tidbits on everything from the number of shipping containers lost at sea (about one per hour!) to the only human bone that cannot repair itself (the tooth). Who knew that any month beginning on a Sunday will have a Friday the 13th? Or that there are more mobile phones in the world than toothbrushes? Engaging and addictive, this is trivia with character.
