Title: Yes, fish drink water. No, that's not very interesting.
Review: Don't let the quirky title of this trivia book fool you. This is not a very interesting read. Typically, I find that the most interesting trivia books are the ones that either ask really off the wall questions or those that have some kind of game component to it. This book tries to be the former and fails quite miserably at it. Practically none of the questions are all that quirky or funny, nor does Mr. McLain's writing make the answers interesting or funny. This is a book of straight up useless information. Not only that, but having been written 10 years ago, this book also has many inaccuracies (ex. the Titanic was sunk by a 200 foot gash in the hull rather than the currently accepted "morse code" hull punctures). Still, there are some interesting nuggets of information that you can throw around at your local cocktail party. However, there are probably more interesting, and more up-to-date, trivia books on the market.
