-- What is the only other creature, besides humans, that wages war?
-- What is so eerie about an 1898 novel called Futility?
-- What is the connection between the lie detector and Wonder Woman?For those non-geniuses who guessed and guessed wrong, don't feel bad -- the geniuses don't know, either (the ant; it predicted the 1912 Titanic disaster created by the same man). This compendium is bursting with little-known gems such as: the Bible is the most stolen book in America; humans and giraffes have the same number of vertebrae in their necks (seven); and the first thermometer was filled with brandy, not mercury (and was quite accurate). Presented with humor and precision, The Instant Genius is an engrossing battery of over 200 facts sure to settle at least one thorny question in everyone's mind.
