by Noel Botham (Author)

This #1 New York Times bestseller is full of fascinating facts and figures that will captivate anyone who enjoys the pursuit of pointless knowledge

To The Useless Information Society, any fact that passes its gasp-inducing, not-a-lot-of-people-know-that test merits inclusion in this intriguing but ultimately useless book. Portable and lightweight, this collection of obscure knowledge is the perfect gift for trivia buffs. You'll learn thousands of facts about history, art, sports, animals, and pop culture, including:

- That fish scales are used to make lipstick
- Why organized crime accounts for ten percent of the United States's annual income
- The name of the first CD pressed in the United States
- The last year that can be written upside-down or right side-up and appear the same
- The shortest performance ever nominated for an Oscar(R)
- How much Elvis weighed at the time of his death
- What the suits in a deck of cards represent
- How many Quarter Pounders can be made from one cow
