I bought this book waiting to find really interesting and unusual facts.Hard was my disappointment when one of the author's odd things was to point out almost a hundred different ways to name the sexual intercourse, for instance.The book is plagued with ridiculous things that if desired would be found on the Internet but which not merit to write a book.In my opinion do not spend a dime on this book. Instead, if you want to read more about curious and exotic things, I would reccommend Cecil Adams' Straight dope or the best one in these fields: Isaac Asimov.
