This is the first of the Imponderables series of books.For people like me who love to accumulate useless but fascinating information it is a wonderful book.It asks the questions (Why do we itch, why are there holes in Swiss cheese, why does an X stand for a kiss, etc....)and then proceeds to answer them.If you ever wanted to be a know-it-all (or want your know-it-all to at least have the right answers) then read this book and become the authority on useless information with your family and friends.Much more fascinating than trivia books (after all you might want to know why cashews are not sold in their shells but who really cares who the runner up for the 1998 Ms America was?).Each piece is a short question and answer so that you could pick it up and read one in a minute or two, but if you are like me then once you have read one you have to keep on reading the next and then the next until you have consumed an hour or more of fascinating reading.
