 Embarrassing. Pointless. Don't waste your money. October 12, 2008
This book appears to have been written by some slightly backward teenager who has had the embarrassing misfortune not to be clearly told that they neither amusing or clever prior to publication. It's an uninformative, cringing read devoid of all real wit, charm or quirky facts.
The authors unfortunate belief that they are endearingly humorous only serves to make the book more painfully unfunny. The questions posed are simply inane, making the answers equally so. Any adult reader will find it's content and level of humor insulting at best. Without any, of the no doubt intended, child-like charm the book lacks even the barest glimmer of real amusement or interesting information. Don't waste your time or money on something this pointless.

It's painfully embarrassing to read. The experience is similar to listening to a 13 year old girl on the bus who's watched Catherine Tate and thinks she's hilarious repeating catchphrases. I actually went red reading it I was cringing so much.
A complete waste of money February 18, 2008

I love books which pose odd questions and books that have information on everyday things (like what is a plimsol line and what are the words to god save the queen), this book does none of the above. The questions are inane and so off the wall you wont care what the answer is.
To be fair though it does tell you exactly what the book contains - STUPID questions. It is funny in places but it is NOT a book of facts and figures.
If you want a book with facts steer clear of this title, if you want to have a funny book of facts buy the QI book, or any of the AQA books.
But if you want to know if you 'could find diamonds in your garden' or 'you keeping dreaming you have a moustache but your a girl' this is the book for you.
 One of the funniest reads ever!!! January 24, 2008
i'd never heard of the set of books like WHY DONT PENGUINS FEET FREEZE? and DO ANTS HAVE ARSEHOLES? but i've got to admit im glad my sister bought me it for xmas! at first i was a bit hesitant, seeing a book still seems a bit strange to me, (i havent actually read a book properly in years) and seeing the title i almost didnt read for another couple of years, but i decided i'll give it a look and opened the book. i read about cockroaches and pickled onions, and was hooked. It was unbelievably fun just to pick up and read a couple of questions at a time. and as they arent "fully comprhensive" "times like" (the newspaper) its a perfect book for just a little light reading or on the commute that many of us suffer with. Its full of quirky questions with quirkier answers and she (sarah herman) really does a good job at holding your attention and keeping you in the mood. Many a time i came home from a horrendously confusing university day and read this book. Its not gonna pass my degree but its sure keeps me happy enough to do/try calculus (the biggest compliment i can give, and if you've ever seen or tried calculus you'll understand that its the highest praise i can give anything :] ).
its amazing, funny, witty and surprisingly thought provoking. A great read!!!!!
Great stocking filler December 14, 2007

A friend gave me this hilarious read as an early Xmas present. It's an addictive, dip in read, which saw me finish the book within a week of reading a couple of facts or brilliant fallacies a day.
I'm not sure if it's one you'd re-read, but it's one of those books that would fill many random bored moments.
