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:

  • Wolves have a serious appetite! They can eat up to twenty pounds of meat in one sitting!

  • The first high heeled shoes were worn by Egyptian butchers to help them walk above the bloodied bodies of animal carcasses.

  • The vintage date on a bottle of wine indicates the year the grapes were harvested, not the year of bottling

  • Your mouth produces about one liter of saliva each day.

  • Greece has more archaeological museums than any other country in the world.

      Myth: Polar bears are “left pawed”

      There is no evidence to support the notion that all great white bears are left pawed. Scientists observing the animals haven't noticed a preference. In fact, polar bears seem to use their right and left paws equally.

    Simon Cowell worked as a runner on the Kubrick film The Shining (apparently his job was to shine the axe properly!)

    "Worth" it for this fact alone, except:

    ‘[The rumours] about him “polishing Jack’s axe” originated from an interview I did with a US radio station. It was a joke which they took for serious. - Tony Cowell

      Whole point of the book is to present 1000 facts and many of them don't check out. So book isn't even worth it being free. I can easily make up "facts" are bogus too.

      • When you cut an apple, clouds form on Jupiter due to the butterfly effect.
      • The first person to eat a hotdog was John McMaron in 1818.
      • Marie Curie got her respect from male scientists by challenging them to duels while swearing like a sailor.
      • Sea urchins taste like chicken.
