Volume 1
Do you have a curious mind? Do you enjoy learning obscure facts? Are you the kind of person that will obsess about that one crazy thing you learned for days? If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, then this is the book for you.
In this book you will find 41 chapters of various subject matter with 15 to 20 factoids per chapter. When compiling the information, we choose factoids that are unusual, sometimes absurd and generally unknown to all except the most curious minds.
Feel free to pick and choose chapters to read based on your own interests. This book is not like a novel that requires you to read it from cover to cover. Instead, this book is meant to be read any which way you want. Whether it be from cover to cover or piecemeal. The factoids are brief, concise, and one of a kind. Each factoid title is in BOLD and allows for the reader to decide whether the factoid title peaks their desire to read further. Simply skip around until you find a chapter that seems appealing or a few factoid titles that become “must reads” based on the title alone. Here’s some examples:
- Pigeon-guided missiles: Both the Allied and Central Powers…
- The Amazonian Yara-Ma-Yha-Who: The Yara-Ma-Yha-Who is a mythical creature…
- The Mothman Prophecies: In the 1960s, residents of Point Pleasant…
- The Salem Witch Trials: In 1692, the Massachusetts Bay Colony…
- The Throwing of Babies: In the town of Castillo de Murcia…
As you can see, this book will take you on a journey of fantastic facts that are sure to enlighten you and your friends. It makes for a great conversation starter or can serve as the basis for a family style quiz game. Your children won’t even realize that they are learning!
