The Book of Extraordinary Facts

Publications International

3.8/5 ( ratings)

Expanding Your Mind One Fact at a Time

Our modern culture is obsessed with facts. Unfortunately, some people aren't interested in anything but "just the facts," dismissing anything that smacks of wonder or curiosity. But not all truths fit into logical and sensible boxes--sometimes the facts are truly extraordinary and beyond belief.

The Book of Extraordinary Facts is chock-full of entertaining information about history, nature, celebrities, crooks, places, sports, religion, technology, and the just plain ol' weird. Inside the book you'll also find scads of noteworthy gems, including:

*A blue whale's tongue outweighs the average adult elephant. That's a two-ton tongue!

*Competitive-eating champion Sonya Thomas set a record in 2005 when she ate 44 Maine lobsters in only 12 minutes.

*Not "digging" the traditional pine box coffin? Try a customized carrier in the shape of an egg, a shoe, a car, or--yes, really--a uterus.

*Ballet is a riot--literally! At least, it was in 1913 when three Russian artists defied all convention and premiered Igor Stravinsky's shocking ballet, The Rite of Spring.

*And much, much more!
