Smith, Bernie
THE JOY OF TRIVIA - Vintage
part of the Joy of The Joy Of Trivia is Bernie Smith's delightful comments on this collection of inconsequential but fascinating facts.  "70.8%of the Earth's surface is covered by water.  The rest is covered by mortgages."  "Early in 1975 the U.S. senate voted on: A motion to table a motion to reconsider a vote to table an appeal of a ruling that a point of order was not in order against a motion to table another point of order against  the motion to bring to a vote the motion to call up the resolution that would institute a rules change.  I don't know what all that  means, but you can be sure we taxpayers got it in the neck!"

And, did you know that in all the Tarzan movies, the hero never once said: "Me, Tarzan; You, Jane." ?  Do you know the real names of the Smith Brothers, of cough drop fame?  Or how Mrs. O'Leary's cow got a bum steer?  The longest word in Shakespeare's works?  The middle names of the U.S. Vice Presidents? Here's unusual and enjoyable reading for those of us who delight in odd and little-known  facts... and have a sense of humor.
