Product Description
"From the creators of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Book of Useless Information comes another enlightening, entertaining, and ultimately useless assortment of trivia.
If you find yourself transfixed by the most trivial of trivia, or mesmerized by the most minor of minutiae, The Useless Information Societys latest findings can satisfy your every need. This wide-ranging collection will fill every nook and cranny of your brain with information you'll surely never need, but will enjoy learning anyway!
Did you know...
- that penguins can jump six feet out of the water?
- that everyone is color-blind at birth?
Would you care to know...
- what the first meal eaten on the moon was?
- what country drinks the most Coca-Cola? (Hint: It's not the United States.)
In 1995, a secret society was formed comprising Britain's foremost thinkers, writers, and artists to trade and share in useless information (or, as founding member Keith Waterhouse, playwright and journalist, would have it, "totally bloody useless")."

 More useless fun! November 2, 2008
Did you know squirrels account for over 1 million trees planted per year because they forgot where they buried the nuts? If you like trivial information that is fascinating, this is the book! Purchase the other one as well. I love it as well as my students! There's always a chuckle to be heard when my students read it. I recommend it!
There's no such thing as useless information! October 24, 2008

 Entertaining and very useless September 7, 2008

Just as the title implies, generally entertaining but too much emphasis on Movie stars for my taste.
FUN, FUN AND MORE FUN September 6, 2008
A fun, interesting book and a good one to have on the kitchen table when you and your friends get to yakking about trivia, or just to start up a conversation. It also answers a lot of questions that you might get from one of your children, or if a teacher (who's expected to know all), from the students. I liked it and would recommend it to others, who appreciate knowing "useless information," like me and my passel of friends, always committed to learning "new stuff."
