What you will find is plenty of nonsense, lots of lies, and just enough truth to make you double check the "facts" with a reliable source.
Following the huge success of the New Scientist books Does Anything Eat Wasps? and Why Don't Penguins' Feet Freeze?, this is an alternative take on human curiosity. With detailed answers to ridiculous questions, if you've learnt absolutely nothing useful by the time you've finished this book, at least you'll be laughing.
