The Big Book of Pointless Knowledge

About this ebook
Did you know that 50 percent of American high school students think Sodom and Gomorrah were married? How about that in London, England, it is illegal to drive a car without sitting in the front seat? And then there is Howdy Doody's resident Native American, Chief Thunderthud, who belonged to the Ooragnak tribe. (Ooragnak is kangaroo spelled backward.)
These and thousands of other gems are included in this book. It's a book to strictly have fun with and cram your brain with pointless knowledge. You'll be surprised how often you'll quote it.
