Since this goes in my book challenge, I'm feeling a bit like a cheat right now hehe..
This is more like something I'd leave in the car so that I could take along with me whenever I anticipate long queues (post office and such).. would make you smile, and sometimes make you curious enough to Google the 'fact' itself =D

It's just cute drawings and simple facts, but lemme tell you, it's useful when the power goes out and you feel the need to entertain people with minimal lighting. Did you know that "Ringo" means "Apple" in Japanese? I wonder if there are Japanese that think that there's an Apple in The Beatles? Or is there a connection between Apple/Ringo and Apple Records? And Yoko Ono is Japanese! Oh, how far does the rabbit hole go? Or how deep is the core to this Ringo (apple)? This review was written on an Apple computer!

I don't think most of the fact in the books are correct. However it is a good read. It's an old book (2006) and I bought cheap so I can't complain much can I? :)
Knowledge is knowledge, whether its old or new.

Here's a fun, colorful book of odd facts that is sure to stimulate discussion.
LEARN SOMETHING EVERY DAY is a collection of interesting, although fairly useless, facts. It is the type of book that could be picked up casually and read in a random fashion; however, once a reader gets a peek at just a few of the unique facts, it will be difficult to put this one down.
Here are a few samples to whet your appetite:
"Staying awake for two weeks can kill you."
"Ferrets can suffer from depression."
"Originally brides carried flowers to mask body odor."
"The longest carrot was nearly 20 feet long."
The facts are printed on lively colored pages and include simple but appropriate illustrations. This book is perfect to motivate reluctant readers. Simply hand them this book and you'll "catch" them reading before they realize what they're doing. LEARN SOMETHING EVERY DAY is also a great gift for the trivia buff who already has one of everything!

I love trivia, and that is what Learn Something Everyday basically is. Something you probably didn't know! Very colourful and simply illustrated, you can turn the page and learn something new everyday.
Based on their colorful cartooned website, learnsomethingeveryday.co.uk, the “We Are Young” design studio creators Peter Jarvis and Gethin Vaughn together form Young—and their book is here to help you stay just that: in heart, spirit, and especially mind.
There is a lot of interesting information packed into this small book. It would be perfect for gift giving or for yourself. It's not only entertaining, it is also educating! Did you know that strawberries contain more vitamin C then oranges? Or did you know oysters can change gender? Did you know Charlie Chaplin once came in third in a look-alike contest? You'll find all of these and so much more in this vibrant and colorful book. Sophophobia is the fear of learning! You won't have that if you get this book! I've put mine on my desk at the office.

Being a trivia book, this is something that I would love to read.
And the facts are just amazing. Colourful book is a bonus. What would you expect from an advertising company who published this book?

Haha! Interesting book but seriously, all of these can't be true, can they?
