Product Description

Product Description

Did you know that: Sex between snakes lasts between 6 and 12 hours? Peter Kay's school metalwork teacher was Steve Coogan's father? The first novel written on a typewriter was The Adventures of Tom Sawyer? That Book sold 60,000 copies in the UK alone? If you are hankering to know more about anything from 'Famous People Who Had Liver Transplants' to 'Beatles Songs and Their Working Titles', This Book is everything you've ever dreamed of. Once you start reading, you won't be able to stop ...


From the Back Cover

* When Billy Crystal was a child, his babysitter was the legendary singer Billie Holiday
* St John's Wood is the only London Underground station that doesn't contain any letters from the word 'mackerel'
*Harrison Ford has a species of spider named after him.
*It is physically impossible for pigs to look up into the sky

THIS BOOK has airline acromyms, tongue twisters, things invented by women and the working titles of Beatles songs. There are also celebrities who own islands/went bankrupt/had liposuction/survived helicopter crashes/had hotel suites named after them/married (and divorced) their childhood sweethearts. From the author of the bestselling THAT BOOK, it has something for everyone and anyone - and more besides . . .

'Mitch knows more totally useless things about useless subjects than anybody on earth.' Chris Tarrant

5.0 out of 5 stars ABSOLUTELY BRILL! - SORTED MY XMAS PRESSIE PROBLEM AS WELL!, 15 Nov 2004
By Jonathan Fingerhut (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book on a whim and when it arrived thought that I would dip into it for a few minutes - a half an hour later I was still glued to it! I never thought that I would find a book filled with trivia so rivetting. Indeed, I have now bought another five copies as Xmas pressies from Amazon (great discount - thank you!).
I am so impressed with This Book that I have now ordered the other book in the series by the same author (called 'That Book' - yes, honestly!) Cannot wait for it to arrive...

What I would like to know is where on earth the author gets all his information from? He must be a great dinner party guest!

5.0 out of 5 stars Quote "A toilet book", 4 Dec 2004
I first learnt of this book from a radio interview the author did with the local station. The interview concentrated on the celebrity facts that the book contains. Such facts like celebs born on the same day; celebs who married another celeb and such.

However, this book contains much more interesting trivia that just celeb facts, from facts about animals to first line of famous novels.

The author himself agreed on radio that this is "a toilet book". This book is about the size of a paperback novel, at maybe just over an inch thick, so is very easy to carry about the house too.

I now regret not ordering two copies instead of one, as it would make a very good gift. Incidentally my copy has now been hijacked by the wife :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars Even better than THAT BOOK, 29 Oct 2004
By A Customer
I got this book - sorry, THIS BOOK - yesterday and I haven't been able to put it down. It's full of wonderful facts and ideas. I particularly recommend it to anyone with any curiosity about celebrities. Wonderful!
