I was laughing my you-know-what off!This was recommended by a friend, and the price was right. Now that I've read it, the price is NOT right, because some of the gems in here are PRICELESS!Some you will know, some you won't, and not only are answers given, but more often than not, a brief and often surprising explanation.Inventors, historical events, celebrities, geography, folklore, and much more including one of my personal favorites when it comes to trivia, origins of words. This book is positively addicting. Alone, with friends, reading to one's self or out loud, you just can't stop.But even more than trivia, the author encourages the reader to think. Subtle hints are sometimes hidden in the question, which makes the format of this book perfect. One first sees only the questions, then later the entire question with the answer, thus allowing us to linger and ponder.So glad to have found this. Talk about serendipity. Yes, it DOES!
