Awesome!!

This book tells you so many interesting facts that most people have never even heard of. I actually wrote to the address the book gave for a Dinosaur Hunting License, and received one. I've read this book four times and would love to read it more!

Awesome!!!

If I ever learned anything in my life it came from this book. I Can't remember half the stuff that I "Learned" in High School but I will always remember that it is impossible to sneaze with your eyes open and the origin of the seventh inning streach. Now if only they would re-release it so I can buy a copy or ten.

Fun and light reading

I took this book out of the library in high school and returned it 5 years after I graduated. Now, I want to know where I can get my hands on another copy. It's great reading for someone who is laid up in bed and looking for some quick, light reading.

I read this book in Junior High school; I'm now 25!!!

This book made such an impression on me when I was 14 years old that I think of it often and always wondered where I could get it! I read it to my mom while she was in a coma... and she came out of it laughing! I'm serious! I love this book because it's easy to read in tough situations. Great light reading. A good bathroom book, too! :-)

I thought it was really cool

I really like learning oddball facts and it comes in handy because I'm on my school's High Quiz Bowl Team. I learned some stuff I never would have even thought about before, like that natives in Melaysia bathe their babies in beer, or that female sea lions are pregnant 364 days a year.
