Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Did you know that during a visit to Germany, Peter the Great once used his host’s curtains as toilet paper? That a French dwarf once sued his government for the right to participate in ths port of dwarf tossing?

From Mother Goose to Gold Fever, Celebrity Scandals to Cults and Fanatics, and from Wis Thoughts to the World's Longest..., this is a wealth of incredible and occasionally improbable information. Be amazed, be appalled, but above all be enthralled by this cornucopia of craziness.

Contents include: Weird Laws from around the world, Scientific Snippets, Astounding News Stories, Urban Legends, Crazy Animals, Brief Histories of everything from the Third Reich to Ancient Breakfasts, Peculiar Inventions, and much, much more.
