Big Book of Useless Knowledge, The

Heard about the lizard that shoots blood from its eyes? Or the ancient Romans who used wee as mouthwash? Did you know that going on a roller-coaster can cure kidney stones? In this compendium of obscure facts readers will be treated to more examples of baffling knowledge. Broken into chapters including geography, space, and history, a team of experts has hunted down the silliest and most pointless facts that the world has to offer (SPOILER: the information in this book isn't really useless. It will inspire, shock, and amuse the reader -and maybe spark an interest that will last a lifetime. It just won't help you with any exams!)
