The Book of Useless Information by Noel Botham Pdf

What you may so cavalierly call useless information could prove invaluable to someone else. Then again, maybe not. But to The Useless Information Society, any fact that passes its gasp-inducing, not-a-lot-of-people-know-that test merits inclusion in this fascinating but ultimately useless book... Did you know (or do you care)... • That fish scales are used to make lipstick? • Why organized crime accounts for ten percent of the United States’s annual income? • The name of the first CD pressed in the United States? • The last year that can be written upside-down or right side-up and appear the same? • The shortest performance ever nominated for an Oscar®? • How much Elvis weighed at the time of his death? • What the suits in a deck of cards represent? • How many Quarter Pounders can be made from one cow? • How interesting useless information can be? The Book of Useless Information answers these teasers and is packed with facts and figures that will captivate you—and anyone who shares your joy in the pursuit of pointless knowledge.

The Mega Book of Useless Information by Noel Botham Pdf

Perfect for trivia lovers, an astounding collection of amazing, mind-boggling, and utterly inconsequential findings Did you know that fingernails are made from the same substance as a bird's beak? That cigarettes contain honey? Or that a ferret will die if it cannot find a mate? For anyone fascinated by the trifling, or just plain desperate to know the answers to the most bizarre of questions, this volume is packed with a bevy of utterly useless data drawn from every imaginable area of knowledge. Tidbits include the finding that the amount of heat a person's body emits in 30 minutes is enough to bring half a gallon of water to a boil, and such nuggets as the fact that there are more than 30,000 diets on public record, and that the only animals that can get sunburn are pigs and humans. Humorous and alarmingly trivial, this is a fun look at all the things no one ever thought they would need to know.
