The Book of Totally Useless Things: Over 200 Explanations for the Not-So Important Things in Life by Dan Voorhees is fun to read. He claims that watching PBS, reading, and collecting interesting stories and information helped him to write this book.
What is the origin of the word posh?
Why is a left-handed pitcher called a Southpaw?
When did it become offensive to extend the middle finger?
What poisonous plants do we grow in our garden that we eat every day?
Why do we say God bless you when we sneeze?
Why is January 1st the first day of the year?
Who was "Uncle Sam"?
Why do cars in some countries drive on the left and cars in other countries drive on the right?
Who was the first "European" to discover the new World?
Why are golf courses called links and why are golf bunkers filled with sand?
You may never lose a game of Trivial Pursuit again if you read this book.
