‘Chewing gum is (mostly) banned in Singapore’ – Strange and fun facts to explore!
Author Jack Haynes not only owns a sizeable scope of little known facts, but he also has a polished sense of humor in sharing his knowledge, covering the spectrum of Science, Animals, the Human Body, History, World Records and Extremes, Sports, Pop Culture, Weird Laws and Customs, Technology, Space, Food and Drink, Inventions ad Discoveries, and Language and Words.
Admixing fact with humor makes each of these categories both educational and entertaining.

And I the History section we learn that the Statue of Liberty was originally a lighthouse, that doctors once prescribed tobacco to treat asthma, and much more. This book keeps eyes and mind glued to the end of it – a very fun and interesting collection of facts indeed!
