Breath-taking trivia compilation by an award-winning human!

Following the success of my trivia website, RaiseYourBrain.com, I ventured into publishing collections of unbelievable facts that have captivated hundreds of thousands of readers. Among the most talked-about sections in each book was Disturbing Facts About Our World.

So far, I have dedicated several entire volumes to unsettling truths-grim crimes, shocking hypocrisy, bizarre medical conditions, and jaw-dropping misfortunes-all woven together with stories so strange they seem fictional. The time has come for the newest instalment, a mix of intense negativity with uplifting stories!

If you're curious enough to keep reading, brace yourself for trivia like:

  • In Iceland, World War II is sometimes referred to as the blessed war.
  • Neanderthals did not have a chin.
  • Male ants do not have fathers.
  • It was never possible to see all seven Ancient Wonders at the same time.
  • Guide dogs can be trained to poop (and pee) on command.
  • On the International Space Station, salt and pepper are provided in liquid form.
  • Football teams taking the first penalty in a shootout win about 60% of the time.
  • Boxing was the first sport ever captured on film.
  • In Finland, mobile phone throwing is an actual sport.
  • Paper airplanes existed in the 19th century, predating the Wright brothers' first powered flight in 1903.
However incredible these may sound, every entry has been verified and fact-checked. Ready to dive in? Let's begin.
