DID YOU KNOW? Stinky ear wax has been hanging around in the ear canal for nearly a month before it is 'pickable'! Humans share a third of their DNA with lettuce. Cockroaches fart every fifteen minutes. Giraffes never kneel. The average person spends six months of their life on the loo. Amaze your friends and fascinate your family with this book packed with jaw-dropping, eyebrow-raising facts.

When Mitchell Symons wrote his extraordinary bestsellers This Book, That Book and The Other Book - all neatly combined in one sensational volume, The Ultimate Loo Book - he was judged by many to be the King of Trivia. Now, inThe Bumper Book for the Loo, this supremo of weird and wonderful, astonishing and inexplicable facts, figures, stats and stories returns with a super selection of trivialistic treats - each one more remarkable and, yes, even more trivial than anything he's compiled before. For example, did you know that... ·The first alarm clock could only ring at 4 a.m... ·There was once an internet rumour that Belgium doesn't exist... ·In 1830, King Louis XIX ruled France for just 15 minutes... ·All mammals have jaws but only humans have chins... ·Peru has more pyramids than Egypt... Packed to the rafters with all manner of useful and useless information, lists of the biggest, the smallest, the best and the worst, The Bumper Book for the Loo is a hilarious compendium of endless delights - and a hugely entertaining, unputdownable feat of nonsense!

Blame it on my father. He was a great bloke and all that but he was also one hell of a contrary bugger. He’d contradict anything anyone said just for the hell of it. He’d even disagree on the weather which, let’s face it, is the one thing upon which everyone always agrees. Anyway, along with the old man’s bloody gout and his double chin, I’ve clearly inherited his predilection for looking at the flip side of just about everything. So while the rest of the world strains to hear the latest news on the perils of smoking, I’m the one saying, “yes, but what are the benefits?” But I haven’t just been pondering my own queries: friends and readers of my columns in magazine and newspapers have asked me such posers as Do TV Detector Vans Really Work, Why Do I Need A Cigarette Before I Can Have A Crap, Is It True That Keith Richards Used To Get His Blood Entirely Replaced, Are You Better Off Running Or Walking Through The Rain, Do Two Wrongs Make A Right, What's The Kindest Way To Tell A Friend That They Have Halitosis, Do Women Who Live/work Together Menstruate At The Same Time and Why Is A Red Herring Red?
