The next time someone tells you smugly that Pluto isn’t a planet, you can counter with any one of these hundreds of weird facts and remain king or queen of the cocktail (or kegger) chatter.
- Humans are the only animal that enjoys spicy food (there’s a reason no one sells Tabasco-flavored cat food).
- Napping can save you from a heart attack (assuming you are not operating heavy machinery at the time).
- Psychology can assess your personality from how you dip fries in ketchup. (Nice fries, sociopath!).
- Surfing the internet actually makes you smarter (but not as smart as reading this book will).

From the Author:
Alex Palmer has written for the New York Post, Hollywood Reporter, Billboard, the Rumpus, and the Huffington Post, among other publications. He is also the author of Literary Miscellany: Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Literature. He resides in Brooklyn, New York.
Review:
“A fun and educational collection of facts about all sorts of things, but it is not what you might expect from the title. There are no ghosts or aliens, no world record breakers or any of the sort of things you find in Ripley's Believe It Or Not. No, this is trivia about the unusual world around us and about ourselves as well. . . .This book is highly recommended.” (Blogcritics)
