The Third Book of General Ignorance gathers together 180 questions, both new and previously featured on the BBC TV programme's popular 'General Ignorance' round, and show why, when it comes to general knowledge, none of us knows anything at all. Who invented the sandwich? What was the best thing before sliced bread? Who first ate frogs' legs? Which cat never changes its spots? What did Lady Godiva do? What can you legally do if you come across a Welshman in Chester after sunset?

      Based on the British comedy quiz show QI, this new edition will provide a surprising breadth of answers, including the most popular wedding spot in the U.S. (in 2014, five percent were in Las Vegas); when Lake Champlain became a Great Lake (1998); the most dangerous sports for American girls (cheerleading); when to report a missing person (ASAP); or that Jingle Bells was written for Thanksgiving. Recommended for public libraries with patrons who may wonder who wrote the first English dictionary (Robert Cawdrey or Richard Cawdrey or Richard Mulcaster). Skeptical reference librarians may spend hours checking to see if the information presented is really true. Note: It is correct that a word entered in the Oxford English Dictionary remains forever.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
