The Perfectly Useless Book of Useless Information

You'll Never Need to Know Anything That's in This Book...But Read It Anyway

? Bugs Bunny was born in Brooklyn.
? The average American home contains $90 in loose change.
? It is illegal to use the American flag in advertising.

? Which day of week is the most popular to rob a bank.
? Which millionaire loaned his kidnapped grandson ransom money at 4 percent interest.
? Which country once had a dog for a king.
