Omschrijving

Have you ever sat down and thought about how absurd and strange some of the things in our world are?

If you have, then you know that in just about every aspect of human life-science, history, the art, etc.-there are plenty of absurd and crazy facts that often defy explanation. And even the absurdities that have an explanation often leave you scratching your head.

In Absurdly Strange But True, we take a look at some of the most absurd incidents, people, places, and things the world has ever known. You'll learn why hyenas laugh, what "fart proof underwear" are and what are Nazo UFOs?.

Some other absurdities you'll learn about include:

● Was professional boxer Sonny Liston's death an overdose or murder?

● What Esperanto language movie did William Shatner star in?

● What one-handed pitcher threw a Major League no-hitter?

● Which animals don't need males to reproduce?

● Who was the artist that made shooting himself a work of art?

The world can sometimes be a truly weird place and Absurdly Strange But True takes a look at all the absurdness and weirdness in a way that's unique as it's fun.

This book is divided into six chapters by absurd topics-history, pop culture and sports, science, literature and art, geography, and the unexplained-with eight stories in each chapter. There is also a "Strange but True" section at the end of each chapter where ten additional absurd facts about the topic are discussed.

No matter your interest, you're sure to find plenty in Absurdly Strange But True that will make you think, wonder, and laugh. So sit back, start reading, and enjoy learning about some of the most absurd and strange facts ever known to humanity.
