What is The Book of Useless Information about?

Thousands of things you didn't think you needed to know-and probably don't.**All you never needed to know, and couldn't be bothered to ask.**One person's 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... - 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 U.S.? - 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 will captivate readers with the joy of pursuing pointless knowledge.Wörter : 38914
