Synopsis:

The sequel to the best-selling "Children's Miscellany". This book is packed full of even more, even smarter, even stranger facts. Discover the secrets of history, the animal kingdom, plants, planets and people. Includes bizarre facts such as: the longest beard ever was that of a Norwegian, Hans Langseth, which measured 5.33 metres (17 6 in); in Oklahoma, USA, it is illegal to take a bite from another person's hamburger; in Brazil, it's a birthday tradition to get a pull on your ear lobe for each year you've lived; and dolphins were used by the US army to detect enemy mines during the Iraq War in 2003.
