Overview
Hardcover with DJ in Very Good (VG) condition.
In these days of information overload, when we are bombarded with media, factoids, and data, it is very hard to keep up with the information that you really need to know. And, with the proliferating onslaught of data and facts and figures, it has become increasingly difficult to differentiate between what's important and what's completely useless. This book should help you sort things out? Nothing in this book has any redeeming social importance at all. But it is entertaining.
We all know that tidbits of information about world diplomacy and global trends can help make you an interesting conversationalist, but, isn't it more fun to brighten the evening with banter about Buffy the Vampire or Quidditch? Of course, unfortunately there is no guarantee that bringing up Buffalo Bill's burial spot or Benjamin Franklin's bifocals will land you the job—or the phone number. On the other hand, when you run out of things to say on a first date, you can always recite the opening lines of literary classics, discuss the "greengrocer's apostrophe," or carelessly drop a reference to the Astronomical Unit.
The information contained herein will probably not help you with everyday problems (unless getting stuck in quicksand is an everyday problem) and it might change your reputation in unforeseen ways, but Useless Information will make you happier. And it contains no calories.
