So smart. So unexpected. So entertaining-- and so utterly addictive. Ben Schott is a true original. And this lively, witty, obsessively readable calendar, adapted from his bestselling series of books, feeds curious minds with hundreds of tidbits of uncommon--yet seemingly indispensable--wisdom. All in one place: fool's errands, Nostradamus and the end of the world, alphabets of advice, a history of leap years, gem symbolism, Belgian drinking legends, and fingernails as an indication of character. What fun!
