Wonderful reading. - Rated This a book full of wonderfully useless trivia. I like this type of book because of the fact that you can pick it up at any time and open it anywhere for serious mind boggling facts. 5 star plus. Woeful - Rated I've never particularly been a fan of 'stocking fillers', and coupled with the hindsight that this is a truely shocking example of the aforementioned, I have to question how this ever ended up in my shopping basket. In short, the content is very poor, obviously there wasn't much stupid history to work with as large areas of the book include, well, just general facts. Buttermilk doesn't contain any butter apparently, and french poodles are originally from germany, its enthralling stuff. The actual historical stories are pretty tepid aswell, and ironically the only high point of the book, we're talking about a low bar here, is the dreadful one liners that conclude most of the stories. Such witiscms, that are usually followed by tumbleweeds, or someone going 'bo-boom tsch' provide cringe entertainment for a short time, but thats about it.
