The Encyclopedia of Useless Information is a superbly satisfying compendium of weird factoids too interesting to be contained in your average reference volume. Daring to cross-reference the un-cross-reference-able, to alphabetize what cannot be alphabetized and to deliver the highest concentration of fun that can fit in a book spine, this information is too useless to waste. For example, did you know that in Denmark, pigs go "knor," and in Germany, horses go "prrrh?" And have you heard about the teacher from Italy that was disciplined in 1996 for passing students exam answers hidden in salami sandwiches? And...believe it or not, in Paris, in 1740, a cow was hanged in public following its conviction for sorcery! Discover what all the other encyclopedias are leaving out! Made in the USA. Wipe clean. * Author: William Hartston; Publisher: Sourcebooks * Soft cover, 388 pages
