A great read

I often buy books that I have every intention of reading and never quite make it through the first few chapters. But because this book is broken up into some many brief topics, and each is so interesting to read I was amazed to find that I had read through the whole thing within a few days of recieving it.

A lot of the topics are "technicalities" and will appeal to those who delight in proving common knowledge wrong. But I really enjoyed the more obscure information just because it highlighted such interesting information about things I hadnt really considered before. The author does a great job of selecting from a wide range of topics and it wont be hard to find some that interest you (and you cant wait to tell others about) regardless of your personal preferences.

A must read for anyone that teaches know-it-alls

I used some of the information in this book to create an openning quiz when teaching a group of people who like most of us think they already know everything! What an ice breaker.

Love It!

I love, love, love this book! It is very interesting, random, and full of fun, useless knowledge. Great book for your spare time and general knowledge!

Not an "Ignorant" purchase!

I purchased this book for my new brother-in-law for Christmas last year. And, apparently i made a perfect choice! he couldn't even focus on opening his other presents b/c he was so interested in what he found in the book and asking everyone in the family "did you know..." questions over and over again! We all felt a bit smarter by the time Christmas was over b/c we had learned so much fascinating information...but, we were also glad the book went to my sister's house so that SHE would have to listen to her husband going on and on with his new found knowledge!
