More accurately, these are from The Book of General Ignorance which is full of interesting little nuggets of knowledge. Here are some:
- Humans have 4 nostrils.
- The biggest thing a blue whale can swallow is a grapefruit.
- Polar bears like toothpaste.
- Kilts, bagpipes, haggis, porridge, whiskey and tartan all do NOT originate from Scotland. (And Scotland, by the way, is named after the Scoti, a Celtic tribe from Ireland, while whiskey was invented by the ancient Chinese!)
- Iceland is Europe’s largest producer of bananas.
- Coffee isn’t made from beans, but from seeds.
- Strawberries, raspberries and blackberries aren’t actually berries, although bananas, watermelons, papayas, tomatoes, oranges and blueberries are berries.
