Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This one is not all that useless
Review: The reason I gave this one such a high rating was because it is a fun book but also some of the info in the book I was able to show recent professors that gave more facts about things we were studying. A prime example was what was written about Gregor Mendel. It is a good book and enjoyable and you will learn alot!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Completely crazy book. Hours of fun.
Review: This book has some of the most bizarre things that I've ever read. Including the story of some medieval ruler who had the eyes of every captured enemy soldier destroyed with hot pokers. One out of 100 soldiers were spared one eye, in order to lead the blind back home.

Some of this ... I don't think is true, but all the same this is a very fun book. Great bathroom material.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An entertaining read that some won't be able to put down!
Review: This book is a good read and you will sometimes be amazed by some of the facts that are contained within it. How many people do you know that wrongly believe that the Titanic resulted in the greatest loss of human life at sea!

Sure some people will say that some of the facts contained are incorrect or have been disproved. Remember that this book was originally published in the 1970's and in that time research and technology has resulted in new discoveries been made in many fields such as medicine, space, etc.

So as long as you keep this in mind and take the time to double check any facts contained in this book before getting into any arguments or taking bets, you should be OK.

Overall, a good read which many of your friends will be delighted to borrow.
