The Utterly, Completely, and Totally Useless History Fact-O-Pedia: A Startling Collection of Historical Trivia You'll Never Need to Know Paperback – May 1, 2011

Looks like a fun read for anyone who likes a book to of the Out-of-the-ordinary.

Entertaining A fun filled collection of very interesting trivial facts. I enjoyed many good laughs while reading. Easy to start and stop. No need to go back after a long inactivity because there is no plot to keep track of.

The secret to life is enjoying the passage of time. Much of the information brought a smile to my face. I learned quite a few new things, but some of the information isn't accurate. Of course, records are made to be broken.

You need to keep this book on hand just for the trivia factor. So many interesting facts about everyday objects and people.

Amazing that all these fun but useless facts are presented alphabetically. Convenient.

Great information. Easy to read, at times very funny.

This is not one of those books that'll leave you saying, "that was the best book!" But, I did enjoy reading it. I found it free on Kindle, so grabbed it to have something to read "between books" if you know what I mean. You could say it's a small encyclopedia of information you'll probably never need, but now that I've read it, I do feel a bit like Cliff Claven from Cheers-always sharing little tidbits of random information. For instance, did you know that the planet Venus rotates backwards or that in 1695 American colonies levied a tax on bachelors to encourage young men to marry? You never know when you might need this information! I would recommend this book for anyone who enjoys having utterly, completely, and totally useless facts at the ready.

Meh. a couple of interesting and unique insights. The rest you could get with random a Google search

Does what it says on the tin. Got as a stocking filler for birthday present and it is a great book for friends/family to share together. Not too expensive either

okay
