Summary:
Answers to hundreds of provocative questions covering a vast range of topics. Everything from the strange to the sublime, including urban legends, old wives tales, and misattributed quotes. Corrections to so-called facts and trivia that have gained authenticity despite less-than-reliable sources. Topics include the animal kingdom, health, origins, traditions, science, history, geography, sports, people, and food. Do cows cause global warming? How many ants make a full meal for an anteater? How late is fashionably late? What's the smelliest thing on the planet? Do woodpeckers get headaches? For those who expect to be informed entertained and humored.
