Sobre este áudio

New York Times best seller.

Misconceptions, misunderstandings, and flawed facts finally get the heave-ho in this humorous, downright humiliating book of reeducation based on the phenomenal British best seller. Challenging what most of us assume to be verifiable truths in areas like history, literature, science, nature, and more, The Book of General Ignorance is a witty “gotcha” compendium of how little we actually know about anything. It’ll have you scratching your head wondering why we even bother to go to school.

Think Magellan was the first man to circumnavigate the globe, baseball was invented in America, Henry VIII had six wives, Mount Everest is the tallest mountain? Wrong, wrong, wrong, and wrong again. You’ll be surprised at how much you don’t know! Check out The Book of General Ignorance for more fun entries and complete answers to the following:

  • How long can a chicken live without its head? About two years.
  • What do chameleons do? They don’t change color to match the background. Never have; never will. Complete myth. Utter fabrication. Total Lie. They change color as a result of different emotional states.
  • How many legs does a centipede have? Not a hundred.
  • How many toes has a two-toed sloth? It’s either six or eight.
  • Who was the first American president? Peyton Randolph.
  • What were George Washington’s false teeth made from? Mostly hippopotamus.
  • What was James Bond’s favorite drink? Not the Vodka Martini.

Resumo da Crítica

" The Book of General Ignorance won't make you feel dumb. It's really a call to be more curious." ( The Associated Press)
"Ignorance may be bliss, but so is learning surprising information." ( Hartford Courant)
"You, too, can banish social awkwardness by having its endless count of facts and factoids at the ready. Or you could just read it and keep what you learned to yourself. Betcha can't." ( New York Daily News)
