50 Things You're Not Supposed To Know (Russ Kick, 2003)

Useless book. I really should stop reading things with a good title. “50 Things You're Not Supposed To Know” sounds good. What am I NOT supposed to KNOW? Tell me random book!

Well, Adolph Hitler’s blood relatives are still alive? I didn’t think that Hitler was a mysterious alien life-form. The Auschwitz was originally an IBM code? So? The Korean War never ended? I knew that. And so on. Most of them are related to USA and are simple trivia such as the age of consent is not 18 in all US states (I knew that too). Others are based on things that nearly happened but didn’t, such as two nuclear bombs fell on North Carolina by accident but did not explode.

The book made it sound like secret information that we were not supposed to know, but when one of the 50 things is that smoking is bad for you, you have to feel a bit let down.
