From short-lived celebrity marriages to athlete nicknames, here is a trivia book that eclipses all others. It isnt useless information, nor is it the conventional trivia that you might expect to find anywhere else. In short, it is all the stuff that you didnt even know that you wanted to know. Fortunately we have made it our business to know what you didnt know that you wanted to know in order to include it into this book. Choosing material that we anticipate you didnt know you wanted to know was a significant challenge. We were required to make a distinction between four things: stuff you wanted to know, but knew you wanted to know; things that you didnt know but knew you didnt know and didnt want to; things you didnt know, didnt know you didnt know, but wouldnt want to even if you did; and most elusive of all, things you didnt know you even wanted to know, but would soon discover that you wanted to, once you knew them. It is this stuff that appears in this book. If there is anything that you feel strongly that you now know you didnt know you wanted to know that isnt here, please let us know.
