Synopsis
The greatest collection yet of trivia, wit and wisdom, unbundled from the collective subconscious of the Guardian's readership by the irresistible probing of those unstoppable queries:
Do giraffes take special protection during thunderstorms?
Who invented the traffic cone, and where were they first used?
What problems might be incurred if you shoot down a model airplane flying 100ft above your land?
And you can find out what makes a red herring red, the collective noun for dentists, and what it feels like to be run over by a hovercraft.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. No one thinks it's an egg: Ian Taylor from Birmingham thinks it was a 300-year-old seige tower; Roy Palmer from Dymock maintains that this is a myth introduced in the 1950s and popularised in the opera "All the King's Men"; Robert Halliday from Bury St Edmunds is sure that it was a 17th-century ale punch, but S. Makepeace Brown of Llandyssol has the last word, insisting that it was not a man but a pregnant woman. They are all talking about the origins of Humpty Dumpty. So "Notes & Queries" brings together all sorts of people from all parts of the country to dispute all manner of questions. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR005044879
