With gross-out facts about animals, the human body, the environment, cultures around the world, and the nasties of your very own home, you won’t be able to stop reading – though maybe you’ll wish you had!

GROSS TOPICS:Animal kingdom, including fire-ant nests and shark’s spiral poopHuman body, including bad breath, farts, pus, and rigor mortisAround the house, including dead skin cells and pillow mitesHistory, including Black Plague and guillotine clean-upEnvironment, including the amount of pee in public pools, litter in outer space, and sewage in oceansDisgusting customs, including being buried alive, maggot-infested-cheese, and the Moose Dropping FestivalMedicine, including maggot therapy and uses of crocodile poop

Grossopedia: A Startling Collection of Repulsive Trivia You Won’t Want to Know!

The Ultimate Guide to Proving You Know Everything About Music…• Do you know the name of The Who’s second rock opera?• Can you name the three longest running Broadway musicals in history?• How about the person Kurt Cobain referred to as his favourite performer on Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged recording?• How old was the oldest Beatle when Paul McCartney announced he had left the band in April 1970?Now music snobs can test their musical savvy about everything from acid techno to folk metal. THE GREAT MUSIC TRIVIA QUIZ BOOK covers all musical genres with a focus on rock and pop from the 1960s through today.You may know that Bono’s real name is Paul Hewson and that John Lennon was featured on the first cover of Rolling Stone, but it might surprise you to learn that compact discs have been on the market since 1982, that the title of AC/DC’s 8th album, “For Those About to Rock, Salute You” is a reference to Roman gladiators, and that music was first transmitted over phone lines in the 19th century.A variety of quiz formats from multiple choice questions to matching lists are accompanied by timed challenges, colourful anecdotes, and sidebar explanations. Featuring chapters like VIDEOS THAT KILLED THE RADIO STARS and OOPS, I DIDN’T DO IT AGAIN (the sad fate of one-hit wonders.) You might nab a high score in classic rock, but how will you score in hip hop? And maybe it’s time to find out if your knowledge of jazz is as extensive as your taste for movie soundtracks.For the tone deaf and the virtuosos, for those who claim to be authorities and those who want to learn more, for the musical theorists and the X Factor fanatics, this collection of music trivia is fun to play on your own, ideal to test friends in the pub, or intriguing to simply read for the surprising facts and behind-the-scenes trivia.
