You'll find answers to questions no one is asking. Here's just a few: A man was arrested and charged with the robbery-of vending machines. The man posted his bail, entirely in quarters. Organized crime is estimated to account for 10% of the United States' national income. Deer can't eat hay. Guinea pigs and rabbits can't sweat. Skunks can accurately spray their smelly fluid as far as ten feet. The lifespan of a squirrel is about nine years. Giraffes can't cough. Fleas can jump more than 200 times their body length. In Bavaria, beer isn't considered an alcoholic drink but rather a staple food. Fanta Orange is the third largest selling soft drink in the world. Toasters that don't eject Pop Tarts properly can cause Pop Tarts to emit flames 10-18 inches in height. Mount St. Helens elevation dropped 1,313 feet in 1980. The 'spot' on 7UP comes from its inventor who had red eyes. He was albino. The ace of spades in a playing card deck symbolizes death. You'll find these and hundreds more.

Here's just a few to the hundreds of trivia bits you'll find in this fun volume 3: Two out of three people sleep on their sides, and they're about equally divided as to WHICH side. Of the remainder, slightly more sleep on their stomachs than sleep on their backs. Forty percent of American adults cannot fill out a bank deposit slip correctly. A survey finds that a quarter of all people who take a briefcase or something similar to work with them have got SOMETHING in it for self-defense. Paranormal experts say people reach the peak of their ability to see ghosts when they're 7 years old. Someone on Earth reports seeing a UFO every three minutes. In the U.S., reported sightings are most likely to occur in July, at 9 p.m. or 3 a.m. Someone within 200 miles of your town claims to have had direct contact with a monster, ghost or other unexplainable being. As many as nine out of ten people are right-handed, and the word for that side, "right," is derived from a variety of sources, all of which suggest strength. Left, on the other hand, comes from the Old English, lyft, for useless, weak. The average New York City household generates 6.2 pounds of garbage each day. Every day, between 12,000 and 14,000 tons of solid waste are disposed at the Fresh Kills Landfill in Staten Island, New York. The average human scalp has 100,000 hairs. As much as six percent of the world's population may experience sleep paralysis, the inability to move and speak for several minutes after awakening. Tide has 70 percent of the market share for detergent. Forty percent of the American population has never visited a dentist. A NUKE InterNETWORK poll found that 52 percent of Internet users have cut back on watching TV in order to spend more time online; 12 percent have cut back on seeing friends. 10 Percent of men are left-handed while only 8 percent of women are left-handed. Male or female, all left-handed people are "in their right mind." A 1997 Gallup poll found that about one in four American workers - 24 percent - said that if they could do so, they would fire their boss. A recent Gallup poll shows that 69 percent of Americans believe they will go somewhere after death. A recent study conducted by the Shyness Clinic in Menlo Park, California, revealed that almost 90 percent of Americans label themselves as shy. About 24 percent of alcoholics die in accidents, falls, fires, and suicides. About 25 percent of all male Americans between the ages of ten and fifteen were "gainfully employed" at the turn of the century. By 1970, so few in that age bracket were employed that the U.S. Census Bureau did not bother to make inquiries about them. About 60 percent of all American babies are named after close relatives. August is the month when most babies are born. About 10 percent of the workforce in Egypt is under 12 years of age. Although laws protecting children are on the books, they are not well enforced, partly because many poverty-stricken parents feel forced to send their children out to help support the family. Most humans can guess someone's sex with 95 percent accuracy just by smelling their breath. Half of all men start to lose their hair by the time they turn 30. Everybody loses dozens of hairs a day - the key thing is whether or not they grow back. More than 40 percent of men wind up with significant hair loss. According to one U.S. study, about 25 percent of all adolescent and adult males never use deodorant. In the United States, deaf people have safer driving records than hearing people nationally. One-fourth of the world's population lives on less than $200 a year. Ninety million people survive on less than $75 a year. In the famous Parker Brothers game "Monopoly," the space on which a player has the greatest statistical chance of landing is Illinois Avenue. The B&O Railroad, Free Parking, Tennessee Avenue, New York Avenue and the Reading Railroad follow this. And much more trivia...................................

Here's just a few of the hundreds of trivia bits you'll find here in this volume: Dark Side of The Moon (a Pink Floyd album) stayed on the top 200 Billboard charts for 741 weeks! That is 14 years. Brian Setzer, of the Brian Setzer Orchestra, started out in a garage band called Merengue. "Mr. Mojo Risin" is an anagram for Jim Morrison. The horse's name in the song Jingle Bells is Bobtail. No one knows where Mozart is buried. The Beatles featured two left handed members, Paul, whom everyone saw holding his Hoffner bass left handed, and Ringo, whose left handedness is at least partially to blame for his 'original' drumming style. Tommy James was in a New York hotel looking at the Mutual of New York building's neon sign flashing repeatedly: M-O-N-Y. He suddenly got the inspiration to write his #1 hit, 'Mony Mony' Tickets for Frank Sinatra's first solo performance at the Paramount Theatre in New York City in 1942, sold for 35 cents each. Jim Morrison found the name "The Doors" for his rock band in the title of Aldous Huxley's book "The Doors of Perception," which extols the use of hallucinogenic drugs. The Granny Smith apple was used as the symbol for the Beatles' Apple Records label. Verdi wrote the opera Aida at the request of the khedive of Egypt to commemorate the opening of the Suez Canal. Warner Communications paid $28 million for the copyright to the song "Happy Birthday." The Beatles played the Las Vegas Convention Center in 1964. Some 8,500 fans paid just $4 each for tickets The densest substance on Earth is the metal "osmium." The clock at the National Bureau of Standards in Washington, D.C., will gain or lose only one second in 300 years because it uses cesium atoms. Vinegar was the strongest acid known in the ancient times. The leaves of the Victorian water lily are sometimes over six feet in diameter. Orchids are grown from seed so small that it would take thirty thousand to weigh as much as one grain of wheat. At last count there were about 226,000 trees in New York's Central Park. A person standing under an oak tree is 16 more times liable to be hit by lightning than if he had taken refuge beneath a beech tree. The oak tree has vertical roots which provide a more direct route to ground water. The partridge berry is a botanical Siamese twin. Each berry develops from 2 flowers. The giant sequoia, which produces millions of seeds, can take 175 to 200 years to flower. To an observer standing on Pluto, the sun would appear no brighter than Venus appears in our evening sky. Traveling at the speed of 186,000 miles per second, light take 6 hours to travel from Pluto to the earth. A brown dwarf is a very small, dark object, with a mass less than 1/10 that of the Sun. They are 'failed stars', globules of gas that have shrunk under gravity, but failed to ignite and shine as stars. A bucket filled with earth would weigh about 5 times more than the same bucket filled with the substance of the sun. However, the force of gravity is so much greater on the sun that the man weighing 150 pounds on our planet would weigh 2 tons on the sun. A car traveling at a constant speed of 60 miles per hour would take over 48 million years to reach the nearest star (other than our sun), Proxima Centauri. This is about 685,000 average human lifetimes. A cosmic year is the amount of time it takes the sun to revolve around the center of the Milky Way, about 225 million years. A day on the planet Mercury is twice as long as its year. Mercury rotates very slowly but revolves around the sun in slightly less than 88 days. A meteor at Nakhla, Egypt, killed a dog in 1911. The unlucky canine is the only creature known to have been killed by a meteor. You know the three physical dimensions, and the fourth dimension, time. For years, people have speculated about other dimensions. Experts in theoretical physics now say the major theories about the universe make sense together - and all the math seems to work - if there are 10 dimensions.

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").
