"Product Description The Useless Information Society's latest collection, The Amazing Book of Useless Information, will answer questions readers never even knew they had. From space travel to the history of jelly beans, this wideranging, brain-teasing, and altogether useless book will give readers information to out-trivialize even their cleverest of companions. Features such fascinating facts as:
" There is a town in West Virginia called Looneyville " Women can talk with less effort than men " Lemons have more sugar than oranges And answers to these life-changing questions: " What was the Ancient Roman cure for a stomachache? " What is a "buckle bunny"? " Where is the coldest place in the universe?
You know I adore these kinds of books. This just has line after line of factoid trivia bound to drive your friends and family to tears. Be like Cliff from Cheers as you whip out the useless information gathered here. Fast, fun read. I'll be posting some useless information on my blog very soon. :)"
"I received this book as a gift and was instantly drawn into its bizarre compendium of esoterica. I proceeded to annoyingly read several of the nuggets within aloud. Cool stuff and ofttimes funny. Here's a few samples:
The band Aerosmith was stumped trying to find lyrics for what would become their hit song "Walk This Way" until they took a break and went to a screening of the movie Young Frankenstein, where they were inspired by the famous "walk this way" gag.
An award-winning adaptation of Little Red Riding Hood was withdrawn from a recommended reading list by the school board in Culver City, California, simply because the heroine had included a bottle of wine in the basket she brought to her grandmother.
Both women and men are most likely to have their first orgasm alone.
More than 20 million meteoroids enter Earth's atmosphere every day.
Spain literally means "the land of rabbits."
Bethlehem, which is considered by Christians the birthplace of Jesus, was an early shrine of the pagan god Adonis. It was believed that this god suffered a cruel death, after which he descended into hell, rose again, and then ascended into heaven. Each year there was a great festival in commemoration of his resurrection."
