Answers to the questions that keep you up at night: Do cats have navels? What are the real lyrics to "Louie, Louie"? How are coins taken out of circulation? If you've got the type of inquisitive mind that just *has* to know - this is the book for you! Great "bathroom reading" - just open to any page, and you'll be fascinated!
