The book of general ignorance
April 23, 2008
Guess. How long can a chicken live without its head? …. your answer here…. probably wrong.
The right answer is about two years. Yep.
Guess. Who invented the telephone? . Nope. Marco Meucci.
And you are also probably wrong if you think that the French invented champagne. If you believe that Magellan was the first to circumnavigate the globe you are also very wrong.
Nice book. Easy to read, interesting, sometimes funny.
