Synopsis

This is a collection of revolting facts, unfettered by good taste, with grim, grisly facts and anecdotes about life, death, sex and personal hygiene. Try out the following at your next dinner party: Because many Japanese sumo wrestlers are literally too fat to wipe their own backsides, novice wrestlers are expected to do it for them. Unsurprisingly, six out of ten novices run away during their first year of apprenticeship. In 1972 Napolean's embalmed penis was put up for auction at Christie's and failed to make the reserve price. It was about an inch long, resembled a pork scratching and was described as "a small dried-up object".
