The useless information never ends in the newest, most crucially meaningless addition to the #1 New York Times bestselling series. More facts! Less substance! This cornucopia of amazingly pointless facts and figures will have you marveling at all the things you never needed to know. There's no good reason for you to know... that Mickey Mouse was banned in Romania. that a company sells bikinis made from salmon skin. that Brigham Young had fifty-five wives. that the Romans used to pay their legions in salt. But we'll tell you anyway, along with... where the world's largest ant colony is. which country invented figure skating. the name of America's bestselling ice cream brand. how many muscles make up the tongue.
