While the premise of the book is intriguing, the answers that are provided are a mix of conjecture, legend, and truth. The author, unfortunately, does not provide any references for his work. You have to take his word on trust, which for me ran out when he asserted that the 1969 Moon landing is not yet proven.
BAFFLING AND BIZARRE.
ENTERTAINING AND ENLIGHTENING.
This witty and compulsive collection of trivia will captivate and surprise you with its fun and funky revelations:
•Why is New York called "the Big Apple"?
•How do people count cards at casinos?
•What keeps the head on a glass of beer?
•Why don't you ever see baby pigeons?
•Why is getting married called tying the knot?
