853 Hard To Believe Facts

I admit that most trivia books are insufferably boring. This book, however, is loaded with fun and verified facts, presented in a manner that will provide you with hours of entertainment. It will load you with never-ending intellectual ammunition for a lifetime of parties. If you argue that it is absolutely useless information, you will be right ... until you know how to use it. Amaze your friends and family by telling them that "Hitler woman” is an anagram of “mother-in-law” or that the holes in pen caps are there to save people from choking to death!

Following the success of my site RaiseYourBrain, I decided to collect the best gems of breath-taking trivia and to present you a great compilation of facts, suitable for vast auditory. This is a result of years of sifting through history and references books on a myriad of subjects as well as searching the Internet and paying attention to the news.

In 2016, I published “1123 Hard to Believe Facts”, which was read by tens of thousands and accumulated hundreds of positive reviews on Amazon and GoodReads, averaging 4.4* (out of 5). As it has remained in the Top 10 of its category for almost two years now, I decided that it is definitely time for the long-awaited follow-up. The present book contains fewer, but better explained facts about literally everything.

Apparently, this book can be fun for high school students too: even the most “spicy” entries, neatly separated in the chapter “Facts about human and animal sexuality”, remain factual and abstain from profanity. To my greatest delight, an avid reader of my website explained that he was preparing daily fact sheets for his son’s lunch box. He prints out three facts every day to create some lunch-time fun for his child and to provoke his intellectual curiosity. Honestly, I wish my parents had done the same at the time!
