"Learn something new with 366 fascinating facts from National Public Radio librarian Kee Malesky. What was the greatest thing before sliced bread? What color did carrots used to be? Why do many American spellings differ from their British counterparts? What does it mean 'to have one's eyes lined with ham"? If you know the answers to these questions, then you're John Hodgman. If you had to look for them below, you need this book. Kee Malesky, author of All Facts Considered, returns with a year's worth of facts on the arts, history, language, natural history, religion, and science to build up your brain. From "What is the only sea without coastlines?" to "How did the tradition of April Fool's Day begin?", this book is the best way to know more stuff than that other guy."--Provided by publisher.
