250 Random Facts Everyone Should Know: A collection of random facts useful for the odd pub quiz night get-together or as conversation starters. US AU
1001 Quiz Questions: A General Knowledge Book US AU

Have you ever had that moment when you are in the middle of a conversation and suddenly the room becomes quiet and nobody knows how to move the discussion forward? Of course you do. Haven’t we all? It’s for this reason that I decided to write this book.

What better way to break that silence than to throw out some of these facts:

  • Gorillas spend up to 14 hours a day sleeping.
  • One quarter of the bones in your body are in your feet.
  • In the 1830s, ketchup was sold as medicine. And so was Coca-Cola.
  • The longest English word without a vowel is “Rhythm”.

      Fact 252 If you like free amazon books & udemy courses you should just subscribe to dealbot directly on his profile page.

      Thanks OP!

      98% of Udemy stuff are trash though with arguably qualified instructors. lol.

      • That is correct. Use Pluralsight if you want accredited instructors and not somebody who speaks in broken English.

  • Thanks OP

  • Rats and horses cannot vomit…

    • Good to know. I don’t like vomit, so I’ll go live on a farm with rats and horses.

        As D C is the centre of the USA's political Clusterfcuk .. we can understand!

  • Thanks. But I don't get the utility of reinforcing facts everyone should already know in moving a stalled conversation forward.

    "Ummm…ah yes! 132. A classic. So, you should all already know this, but did you know that a heater can make a cold room feel warrrmer?! Hmmmm?!"

    The longest English word without a vowel is “Rhythm”….

    So… "Rhythms" isn't longer?

  • Just fart really loud, everybody laughs and the conversation is renewed.

  • In the 1830s, ketchup was sold as medicine. And so was Coca-Cola

    Coca Cola was invented in the 1880s, so it wasn't sold as a medicine in the 1830s

    • Hnghhhhh…

    • Maccas must have started as pharmacy store.

    Fact #251: the author should check their facts. Must work for Rupert!

  • Would like to see the moment after throwing one of these lines into that conversation 😆

  • … I have to go out and haven't the time at the moment to create an individual post, but for anyone interested,
    there are a heap of AmazonClassics Editions such as Wind in the Willows, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan etc

    also available for free on the Amazon US Kindle website. They may be on the AU web-site, I haven't checked.

    Cheers
