    Is there any other single book in the universe with this many awesome tidbits of bite-sized information? Nope. And that’s a fact! At nearly 400 pages (with a handy index for your fact-seeking convenience), Wise Up! is a must-have for anyone who likes their information on the go. It’s organized into hundreds of topics—everything from sports and entertainment to word origins and science. Here are but a few of the facts awaiting you:

    * More women than men talk to their cars.
    * The melody for Nat King Cole’s 1954 hit “Smile” was composed by Charlie Chaplin.
    * Acid rain was first identified and named in 1852.
    * What is your buccal cavity? Your mouth.
    * There are no skunks in Newfoundland.
    * The average Super Bowl party has 18 people.
    * When dropped in water, a fresh egg will sink; a stale one won’t.
    * The average newborn baby spends 113 minutes a day crying.

    * Fossilized termite farts have been preserved in amber.
      And thousands more!
