    From the creators of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Book of Useless Information comes another enlightening, entertaining, and ultimately useless assortment of trivia.

    If you find yourself transfixed by the most trivial of trivia, or mesmerized by the most minor of minutiae, The Useless Information Society's latest findings can satisfy your every need. This wide-ranging collection will fill every nook and cranny of your brain with information you'll surely never need, but will enjoy learning anyway!

    Did you know...

    - that penguins can jump six feet out of the water?
    - that everyone is color-blind at birth?

    Would you care to know...

    - what the first meal eaten on the moon was?
    - what country drinks the most Coca-Cola? (Hint: It's not the United States.)

    In 1995, a secret society was formed comprising Britain's foremost thinkers, writers, and artists to trade and share in useless information (or, as founding member Keith Waterhouse, playwright and journalist, would have it, "totally bloody useless").
    Noel Botham is the chairman and a founding member of the Useless Information Society. Botham and the rest of his team lurk mostly around London. View titles by Noel Botham
