Synopsis
(The Ultimate Irrelevant Encyclopaedia is neither irrelevant to your enjoyment nor to your bookshelf. It is, however, the source book to a wealth of information you never thought to ask about or knew existed.
In its comprehensively illustrated and cross-referenced pages you will discover all you need to know about:
The initiation rite of the Aborigine
The world s smallest underpass - for badgers
The philosopher who considered it better to eat dead bodies than bury them
The king who died in a fall - from a toilet seat
The use of herrings to cure malaria
The world s first oil slick
The pipe smoking habits of Josef Dzhugashvili
The inspired judgment of the electric light bulb by a British Parliamentary Committee
There has never been an encyclopaedia so rich in bizarre, extraordinary and mind boggling items of information. Whether you dip into it, follow the fascinating (and infuriating) cross- references or simply look up your chosen subject, you will be entertained, entranced and amused. You will certainly be armed to dazzle, or bewilder, any acquaintance with a gem of irrelevant information)
