This is a book which calls out to people like me. Someone who
loves useless information.
The book brings together the best of the questions asked by readers
and correspondents of New Scientist in their popular "The Last
Word" column.
Questions like how come bruises go through a myriad of colours, to
whimsical ones like what eats wasps are answered with explanations,
scientific theories and humour.
It is a wonderful read for someone, as aforementioned, has an
insatiable appetite for pointless facts.
Recommended. 3 1/2 out of 5
(p.s. the answer to "Does anything eat wasps?" is not "very stupid
birds" )
