Riassunto

Even more dark history, strange science, and insane trivia they still didn't teach you in school.

"Pumpernickel" may be named after a goblin who broke wind. Rejected male fruit flies drink four times more alcohol. And there's a housing estate in Germany where the rent is still under one euro a year, plus three prayers a day.

The Ultimate Bathroom Book of Forbidden Knowledge 2 reopens the restricted archive with 500 all-new facts. Not one of them is a rerun from the first book, and you don't need the first book to start here.

Inside, you'll find out:

• Why Henry VIII's courtiers shared a toilet with 14 seats
• How a flood of molasses rolled through Boston at about 35 miles per hour
• Why Queen Victoria had to propose to Prince Albert herself
• How one aspen tree in Utah grew more than 40,000 trunks
• Why a Chinese airline paid $280,000 for the phone number 8888-8888
• How dung beetles steer by the Milky Way

Ten chapters take you from the human body and the throne room to forbidden words, very rich weirdos, and the animal kingdom after dark. Every fact was checked against at least two published sources, and where the experts are still arguing, the book tells you so.

Three-minute reads, entries from Max's Log, "Myth or Fact?" boxes for the stories everybody gets wrong, and a true-or-false Clearance Test at the end of every chapter. Perfect for bathroom breaks, road trips, trivia nights, and winning arguments at dinner.

Your clearance is approved. Open the archive.
