Holy Crap! I never knew that...

Cognitive storehouse for the intellectually curious.

Over the course of several years of researching material to aid in the construction of word puzzles, I managed to accumulate thousands of facts, oddities, and delicious tidbits on less-than-burning issues. For example: the average person looks at eight houses before buying one---the average lifespan of a mosquito is two weeks---in Victorian times, prostitutes wore pubic wigs---all thirteen minerals necessary for human life can be found in alcoholic beverages---considering that the typical lovemaking session averages fifteen minutes, a couple can expect to spend 610 hours of their married life having sex.

If I could honestly say, "Holy crap! I never knew that..." when I ran across a gem, it's in the book; so these are personal favorites from a lifetime accumulation. It is designed to be an ideal companion for thirsty minds on the go, for those who realize they don't know it all, but would like to put down those jerks who think they do. The sections include fascinating facts about entertainment, sex, history, sports, humans in general, food and eating, wild (and domestic) kingdom, etc.

So use the information to create your own trivia quizzes, impress your friends with knowledge about a variety of popular topics, and jumpstart riveting exchanges at cocktail parties, or just read and smile.
