So,
we don't know that much. But, as
someone else once said, it isn't
what you don't know that does
you harm, it's what you know
that's wrong. Enter The Book of
General Ignorance, a book that
sets out, calmly and humbly, to
show you that a lot of what you
think you know is wrong,
incorrect, piffle, nonsense.
If, like Alan Davies, you still
think that Henry VIII had six
wives, the earth has only one
moon, that George Washington was
the first president of the USA,
that Bangkok is the capital of
Thailand, that the largest
living thing is a blue whale,
that Alexander Graeme Bell
invented the telephone, that
whisky and bagpipes come from
Scotland or that Mount Everest
is the world's tallest mountain,
then there are at least 200
reasons why this is the book for
you.
