If you are intrigued by the odd, fascinated by the fantastic or tickled by trivia, then this is the book for you. Would you like to know that...* In South Africa, termites are often roasted and eaten by the handful, like popcorn * The zip in zip code stands for zoning improvement plan * Twenty-seven per cent of all web transactions are abandoned at the payment screen. * Your big toes have two bones each while the rest have three. The Useless Information Society was informed by some of Britain's best-loved journalists, writers and entertainers, including Keith Waterhouse, Richard Littlejohn, Suggs, Noel Botham, Ken Stott and Brian Hitchen. They meet regularly to swap new nuggets of trivia. |
